Description

The present invention relates to a game machine (including a pachinko machine) such as a pachislot machine that uses a medal as a game medium and a slot machine (rotary body type game machine) called a pachilot that uses a pachinko ball as a game medium.

Further, the present invention provides control steps or control procedures for realizing the gaming method as semiconductor memory, LD (laser disc), HD (hard disc), CD (compact disc), DVD (digital versatile disc). Alternatively, it is related to a program (for example, game software) recorded on an information storage medium such as a digital video disc) or a blue ray disc, or a game application itself downloaded using the Internet.

In recent years, games using a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed as entertainment in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot-only stores. In addition, in video game machines installed in game facilities, and in general household computers and game machines via the Internet, substitute coins and credits (that is, "game media") are used to simulate spinning-type games. A simulation game is being played.

For example, in the above-mentioned normal game of a reel-type game machine, when a player operates a start lever after inserting a predetermined number (predetermined amount) of game medals (game medium), a bonus combination is provided at the operation timing. A small role or a replay role (replaying role) internal lottery (hereinafter, also referred to as "internal lottery") is executed, and a plurality of reels (in most cases, 3 or rarely 4 reel drums) are executed. ) Is rotated from top to bottom, and a plurality of symbols arranged on the rotating cylinder (usually, these plurality of symbols are arranged or drawn on a reel tape and attached on the outer circumference of each drum). Along with starting the variable display game, the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum, and the bell, watermelon, and cherry of the small winning combination (the role in which the number of payouts of the game medium is determined) is internally won. When symbols such as, etc. are displayed on the effective line in a predetermined combination, a prize is won and about 1 to 15 game medals are paid out, whereas the replay symbol is displayed on the effective line and replay (replay). ) Is activated (hereinafter, also referred to as "winning"), the next normal game can be performed without inserting the game medal (or by inserting the number of the inserted number in the previous game as it is). It will be possible. If a small role is missed, the payout will be 0.

In particular, in the case of a rotating cylinder type game machine called A type, a big bonus (1st class BB or 2nd class BB) is internally won based on the result of the internal lottery of the normal game, and it is specified by the individual stop operation of the reel drum. Big bonus game mode (BB game mode: combination), which is the most advantageous game mode for the player when the symbols (for example, 7 red symbols, 7 blue symbols, and BAR symbols) are aligned on the effective line and stopped and displayed. You can get a lot of game medals at once by rushing into the operation of the object continuous operation device). In addition, if the regular bonus is won and the bar symbols are aligned on the effective line as specific symbols, the regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, and although it is not as good as the BB game, a corresponding game medal can be obtained. In any case, the establishment of these bonus games is the greatest concern for the player in the rotating game. When the bonus game is won or released as a result of executing the internal lottery, a specific symbol (7 symbols or bar symbol) is stored by setting a bonus flag in a data storage area such as RAM or RWM. The flag will be carried over to the subsequent variable display games until all the flags are collected.

By the way, the conventional rotating body type game machine (Unit 4) has a relatively high gambling trait, and in order to suppress it, the Act on Regulation of Customs Business, etc. and Optimization of Business (Final Amendment: May 2005) The 30th Law No. 55) was enforced and applied to the latest rotating game machine called Unit 5.

For example, in the Unit 5 revolving game machine, the ball output rate (short-term, medium-term, long-term) is stipulated very finely by the rules, and in the big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals, etc. obtained is determined. It ends when the number of cards exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 360 or 480), and in the regular bonus game, although it is not as good as that of the BB game, it ends when about 100 or more cards are obtained. In particular, as a result of the bonus stock function, which can be said to be the greatest feature of the conventional rotating type game machine (Unit 4), is also prohibited by the same rule, bonus roles are continuously released (so-called bonus consecutive chan). It became impossible to play, and the playability and gambling were extremely reduced.

However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some deregulation has been done, and as a result of new ingenuity, a slot machine equipped with an ART function (assist replay time function) has been developed. It was. This ART function shifts to a high-probability replay state where replays are easy to win, and aims at the symbol stop operation procedure (the operation order of the stop switch and the color of the bonus symbol) to win the small winning combination internally. It is a function that assists (assists) winning a prize by notifying (including the operation timing to be operated) by liquid crystal display, voice, LED, etc., and is currently the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine.

Further, an AT machine has been developed that maintains the state in which the bonus combination (type 2 BB) is internally won and increases the winning probability of the re-game during the normal game and the special game. The AT machine is equipped with an assist bonus (third bonus) that activates the assist function, and when the AT bonus is won, when the push order small winning combination is internally won, the correct push order is notified. Therefore, the small winning combination with the largest number of payouts is taken among the plurality of small winning roles that have been won at the same time. On the other hand, the assist function is not activated during normal games, the player cannot know the correct operation procedure when the push order small winning combination is won, and a penalty occurs when an irregular push (a push method other than the left 1st) is performed. Therefore, the number of medals (balls) possessed decreases as the number of games is increased.

JP 2013-090642 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-172753 JP 2012-059841 Japanese Patent No. 5900998 Pachislot Super Blackjack 2 (manufactured by Net) Pachislot Cinderella Braid 2 (manufactured by Net)

By the way, the gambling of the No. 5 spinning game machine at the beginning of the rule was very low, but as a result of the improvement, the average net increase in the number of ART machines and AT machines per game was increased to 2.5 to 3. Therefore, the ball ejection performance is better than that of the No. 4 spinning machine. And since some models have produced more than 30,000 copies in one day, the rules have been revised to reduce gambling and prevent fraudulent activities. It is being considered. In particular, in the Unit 6 rotating cylinder type game machine, since the ART function is managed by the main control unit, it is necessary to compress the data capacity of the main program.

In the development of the No. 6 rotating cylinder type game machine having an assist function, the present invention includes technical ingenuity in the game, unique program processing (lottery processing in the instruction game), and a prize for a penetrating bonus combination and a small push order combination. By devising the display mode and stop control, the player is not exhausted, and the fun is increased by the additional production using the special button, and the playability is increased without giving the player a sense of discomfort, and the main program The purpose of the present invention is to provide a game machine or the like capable of compressing a data capacity.

The gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 has a plurality of types on the outer peripheral surface of a gaming machine in which at least a normal game and an advantageous game that is more advantageous than the normal game exist as a game in order to achieve the above object. A plurality of rotating cylinders on which symbols are arranged, a combination lottery means for internally drawing a combination when the lottery conditions are satisfied for each game, and a plurality of rotating cylinders for each game are rotated, and each rotating cylinder is used. The symbol display control means for receiving the operation of the stop switch provided in response to the above, stopping the corresponding rotating cylinders individually, and displaying the symbols according to the result of the internal lottery, and the plurality of rotating cylinders are all.

In order to determine the additional lottery means capable of executing the additional loop lottery process that repeats the additional lottery in order to determine the additional value of the advantageous game, and whether or not to end the additional loop lottery process. The additional lottery means includes an end lottery means capable of repeatedly executing the lottery, an effect control means for controlling the additional effect related to the additional value, and a detection means for detecting that the operation switch has been operated. As the additional lottery, at least a normal additional lottery and a special additional lottery that is more advantageous than the normal additional lottery can be selected and executed. In the normal additional lottery, one random number is extracted to determine the additional value. In the special additional lottery, one random number is extracted and a specific value is multiplied by a specific value to determine the additional value, and when the additional condition of the advantageous game is satisfied, the additional lottery means is described. The additional value determined in the additional loop lottery process is individually transmitted to the effect control means, and the additional value is added to the total remaining value. When the upper limit of the allowable number of transmissions is reached, the effect control means is notified. While the additional value is added to the remaining total value without transmitting the additional value, the additional loop lottery process is terminated when the end lottery means determines the end, and the effect control means , When the additional value received from the additional lottery means is individually stored, and when the special additional lottery is executed, the operation of any of the stop switches is accepted while the plurality of rotating cylinders are rotating. , The symbol display control means is put into a game delay state in which the operation of another stop switch is temporarily not accepted, and the effect control means is a special addition lottery during the game delay state.

Definition:
Replay is a combination of patterns that enables the next play to be played without betting on a pachislot machine. The name on the pachislot certification rules (rules for certification of gaming machines and certification of types) is replay (saiyuugi). In addition, the "replay combination" used in the claims may be a group replay combination in which a plurality of replay combinations 1 to replay combination n are internally elected at the same time, and one of the replay combinations has the highest priority (bonus combination). It is designed to work (priority). That is, the "re-game" can be performed without inserting a game medal or the like (including using the game medal for the game by operating a button or other device related to the storage device). Refers to a game.

"Activation" is a wording including a state in which a symbol related to a re-game or a combination of symbols related to a character continuous operation device or the like is displayed on an effective line, and is a word in a small role in which a game medium is paid out. It is synonymous with "winning". Therefore, in the present specification, it may be used for convenience as a "winning prize" for a replay game or a "winning prize" for a bonus role.

On the other hand, the sub-block controls various effects that attract the player's interest and interest, such as the notification and display of the game progress and the internal lottery result. In addition, when the assist function managed by the main block is activated, the sub-block is a small winning combination (a small winning combination for the purpose of winning a prize) or a stop operation procedure for avoiding a fall replay (operation order of the stop button section 10). And operation timing).

Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LEM50A-P manufactured by ELTEC) equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, and controls a predetermined data table area or the entire device. A ROM 101 that stores a control program that describes the above, and a RAM 102 (RWM: also called a rewritable memory) that temporarily stores information necessary for control by forming counters and registers, and includes not only an internal RAM but also an external RAM. .), Various registers, counters, etc. are provided. As will be described later, this RAM 102 is stored by the RAM backup power supply (power supply condenser of the main board) that is always supplied via the power connector even if the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is unplugged. All control data is retained, but if the power connector itself is unplugged, no power will be supplied, so the control data will be erased (all clear or reset to 0) or meaningless information (indefinite information). Become.

The main control unit 100 has a start SW sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), three stop button sensors 120, a medal detection sensor 130, and a bet button via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus. The sensor 140, the stage setting unit 150, and the payout sensor 18a are connected, and the main control unit 100 is configured to be able to receive input signals from these.

Further, the drum unit 2, the medal payout device 18, the display LED block 4, and the external centralized terminal plate 170 are connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus. The main control unit 100 is configured to be able to control these various devices by transmitting and receiving input / output signals. Eight external centralized terminal board signals are output from the external centralized terminal board 170, and the specifications are as follows: output terminal 1 is a medal insertion signal, output terminal 2 is a medal payout signal, output terminal 3 is an external signal 1 (RB), and output. Terminal 4 is external signal 2 (BB), output terminal 5 is external signal 3 (unused), output terminal 6 is relay common, output terminal 7 is external signal 4 (ART signal), and output terminal 8 is external signal 5 (external signal 5). Error signal).

The main control unit 100 outputs information necessary for totalizing and managing the operating status of a game machine at a pachislot store or the like from the external centralized terminal board 170, but does not receive any information from the external centralized terminal board 170. Absent. The signals output by the main control unit 100 to the outside include a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, an external output signal 1 (for example, an RBB signal), an external output signal 2 (for example, an ART signal), and an external output signal 3 (for example, an ART signal). These are an unused or type 2 BB signal), a relay common, an external output signal 4 (for example, an error signal indicating that various errors have occurred), and an external output signal 5 (for example, a door opening error signal). In particular, the RBB signal is an actual bonus combination (actual bonus combination), while the ART signal is an assist bonus combination (called a "third bonus combination"), which is a special role in which assist information is notified. Not only is the hall computer (external device 1) aggregated and managed, but it is also output to the data counter (external device 2) installed near the top of the pachislot machine, giving the player the main information (number of games) in the pachislot game. , BB count, ART count, ball output information, etc.). The meaning of the external output signal can be changed as appropriate depending on the model specifications.

The main control unit 100 internally extracts one of the random numbers (values 0 to 65535) continuously generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 in accordance with the operation of the start lever 9 of the player. A lottery is executed, and the drum portion 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c), which is a three-row (plurality of rows) of symbols on which a plurality of (usually 20 or 21) symbols are drawn. Start the symbol variation display game by rotating. For example, in this random number lottery, any of the small winning combination with a payout such as bell, cherry, watermelon, or plum is internally won (or a plurality of small winning combination is internally won at the same time), and the player stops the stop button unit 10. Then, the main control unit 100 individually stops the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position based on the lottery result and the stop operation timing according to the operation order. As a result, if the predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on any of the effective lines set in the window portion 3, the prize is won. However, the number of effective lines is not limited to five, and may change depending on the number of medals inserted, or may be increased or decreased to one or more as appropriate according to the design specifications and the gaming state.

The main control unit 100 stores in the RAM 102 the total number of games executed and the number of games in an advantageous section that is advantageous for the player, such as a pseudo-bonus, and the confirmation switch 21e is operated with the front door 1b open. In this case, (the number of games in the advantageous section) x 100 for (the total number of games) is calculated and displayed on either the medal storage number display LED 4b or the medal payout number display LED 4c. For example, if the total number of games is 12345 games and the number of games in the advantageous section is 8000 games, the game ratio in the advantageous section is about 64.803%, but the last digit is rounded off to "65". Is lit to display.

A sub control unit 160 is connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, etc.) necessary for various control of subblocks is connected. The lottery result, winning status data, stage setting value data, data indicating the switch operation state of the stage setting unit 150, etc.) are output to the sub-control unit 160.

Like the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 is an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, and includes a ROM 161 that stores a control program that describes a control procedure for the entire subblock. A counter, a timer, a register, and the like are formed, and a RAM 162 and the like for temporarily storing information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100 are provided. A plurality of BGM (background music) data are stored in this ROM 161. Especially during a bonus game, a specially arranged BGM is arranged according to the production scene in order to raise the player's feelings. Selected and played as appropriate. It is not necessary to provide the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 separately, and it is possible to use one control unit. However, since the capacity of the ROM 101 is limited, the sub control unit 160 is generally provided. ing.

The sub-control unit 160 includes a display effect device 11 (including the display effect control unit 11b), a speaker unit 12, a game status display LED unit 13, and a cross key sensor via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus. 111, a special button sensor 112, and a door abnormality signal output device 113 are connected, and the sub-control unit 160 can receive input signals from each of these devices and output necessary data and signals to perform various controls. It is possible.

When the sub control unit 160 executes an internal lottery using the random numbers extracted by the main control unit 100 in accordance with the start operation of the start lever 9, and receives a notification of the result of a big hit, a replay, various small wins, or a loss, Before notifying the player of the lottery result, an effect lottery is performed as to whether or not the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game status display LED unit 13 are to perform the effect. When the sub-control unit 160 wins the effect lottery, the sub-control unit 160 selects an effect image to be displayed from a plurality of effect images stored in the ROM 11c (see FIG. 13) described later and outputs the effect image to the display panel 11e.

In particular, as will be described later, when the push order small winning combination (the first small winning combination and a plurality of parts of the plurality of pushing order specified small winning combination) is internally won in the ART bonus game, the sub-control unit 160 is used. Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the winning first small winning combination symbol (for example, bell symbol) on the effective line is displayed on the display effect device 11. This allows the player to easily win the first small role. However, this ART bonus game is managed by the control of the main control unit 100, and the sub control unit 160 only displays the assist information according to the instruction of the main control unit 100. That is, the sub-control unit 160 is not involved in the ball ejection performance.

When the cross key is operated, the cross key sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to four directions of up, down, left, and right and a decision button operation signal in the central portion, and the sub-control unit 160 receives this direction signal and directs the direction. Various video effects and winning notifications according to the signals are displayed on the display effect device 11, and a sound effect is further generated from the speaker unit 12. Further, the sub-control unit 160 displays the combination symbol of the combination, the small combination table, and the payout table on the display effect device 11 based on the signal from the cross key sensor 111.

The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (for example, HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (for example, LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub-control unit 160 receives this ON signal. Various games, their video effects, winning notifications, and the like are displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the timing of the signals and the number of times the pulse is received (called repeated hits).

The door abnormality signal output device 113 is a device that detects the open / closed state of the door and outputs a control signal to the sub-control unit 160. When the main power is ON, the door abnormality signal output device 113 is an ON / OFF signal according to the opening / closing of the front door 1b. Is output, while the main power is off, it is driven by the power supplied from the sub power supply (backup battery), detects and stores abnormal opening and closing of the front door 1b when the main power is turned off, and then the main power is turned on. Even when it is turned on, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of abnormal opening and closing when the main power is turned off. As a result, the sub-control unit 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on even if the front door 1b is closed and there seems to be no abnormality at all, so that the manager of the game hall recognizes the abnormal situation. , Appropriate measures such as checking and inspection of game machines can be taken.

The medal detection sensor 130 is composed of a medal passage sensor and a proximity sensor (not shown), and outputs a number of pulse signals corresponding to the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 5. The main control unit 100 receives this pulse signal and executes counter logical operation processing at the rise and fall of the pulse signal to set the number of pulses to the input number LED 4a or the medal storage number display LED 4b in the display LED block 4. It is controlled to display the number of inserted sheets or the number of credits increased by the corresponding number.

The bet button detection sensor 140 normally has a 1-bet button detection sensor 140a that outputs a pulse signal in response to an operation of the 1-bet button, and a max bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal in response to an operation of the max bet button 8. It is composed of the above two and is separately connected to the two ports of the main control unit 100 (not shown in detail). The main control unit 100 controls the number display of the input number LED 4a so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal. However, since there are many models that do not have the 1-bet button these days, it is assumed that only the max-bet button 8 is provided.

Here, referring to FIG. 2B, the maximum number of sheets that can be inserted is 3 (first number) or less than the maximum (second number: 1 or 2, that is, the second number is the first). The number of cards is less than the number of cards). When the main control unit 100 detects the rising edge of the pulse signal output from the max bet button detection sensor 140b by turning on the max bet button 8 in a state where the game can be played with the maximum number or less than the maximum number. , Start the 0.8 second timer to start timing. When the main control unit 100 detects the falling edge of the pulse signal output from the max bet button detection sensor 140b by turning off the max bet button 8, 0.8 seconds of a predetermined time must have elapsed. For example, since it is a short-time operation that is less than a predetermined time, the maximum number of 3 sheets is inserted (see the figure on the left side of FIG. 2B). On the other hand, when the falling edge of the pulse signal is detected, if 0.8 seconds of the predetermined time has passed, the operation is for a long time exceeding the predetermined time, so the number of sheets (1 or 2) less than the maximum is input. (See the figure on the right side of FIG. 2 (B)).

Further, when the player normally operates the start lever 9 after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start SW sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 receives the start signal to perform a random number lottery or the like. The variable display game is started, and the drive pulse signal is output to the drum unit 2. In addition, the game performed by operating the start lever 9 once is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to acquire a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus) and increase medals. Repeat the game. The bonus game means, for example, a first-class special bonus (RB), a first-class special bonus continuous operation (RBB), or a second-class special bonus continuous operation (CBB).

Then, when the stop buttons 10a, 10b, and 10c are operated during the variable display game, the main control unit 100 individually stops the rotation of the corresponding rotating drums, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the symbol of each rotating drum). Is displayed in a predetermined combination to win a prize.) When paying out medals, the number of medals to be paid out is displayed on the medal payout number display LED4c in the display LED block 4, and this is the number of credits. In addition to this, the medal storage number display LED 4b is displayed. When the payout operation is performed by the settlement button 6 or when the number of credits exceeds, for example, the maximum number of 50, the main control unit 100 drives and controls the medal payout device 18, and medals the required number of medals. It is discharged from the payout port 16 and accumulated in the saucer 15.

Further, the main control unit 100 outputs control data (event data) related to the internal winning or the like to the sub control unit 160 when a replay or a small winning combination, particularly a bonus, is internally won. Then, when the sub control unit 160 receives the control data from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 controls the lighting of the game status display LED unit 13 and controls the voice synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating the sound effect from the speaker unit 12. , And various effect operations such as display control of characters and background images in the display screen of the display effect device 11.

Reference numeral 150 denotes a stage setting unit, and by performing the stage setting operation of the ball output rate described later in FIG. 20, the hall side can release a large amount of medals at an event or a newly refurbished opening and collect the medals to improve profits. , A desired set value can be selected from step values 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.).

A stop setting unit (not shown) is connected to the main control unit 100, and if it is on (or "1"), the input number LED4a and the medal storage number display LED4b are displayed after the bonus game is completed. The total number of displayed medals is forcibly paid out, the operation for playing the variable display game is disabled (stopped state), and a warning sound is generated from the speaker unit 12. Recently, there are many slot machines that do not have this stop setting unit.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control circuit system that controls the drum unit.

The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b and 30c for controlling the rotation of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, and responds to the drive pulse signal from the main control unit 100. When the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are driven and the drive pulse signals are continuously supplied to any two phases at the same time, an attractive force is generated and the motors suddenly stop. In reality, finer stop control is performed to smoothly stop the drum portion 2 at a predetermined position.

The step motors 30a, 30b and 30c are in a 4-phase 1-2 excitation system and have 252 steps / rotation (1.43 degrees / step), and when the main control unit 100 inputs 504 drive pulse signals, it is just Make one rotation. Since the main control unit 100 returns one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from the rotating cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c composed of one photointerruptor provided for each drum, each drum. It is possible to accurately grasp the reference position of. That is, the resolution of one input pulse is 0.714 (degrees / pulse). When further increasing the resolution, the rotation position can be grasped in detail by managing the time from one input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotation speed.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a drum portion.

The central portions of the left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c, which are thick disk-shaped rotating bodies, are connected to the rotation axes of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown), and 30c, respectively. And rotate in the direction of the illustrated arrow (ie, from top to bottom). Further, a left-handed trunk band 32a, a middle-turned trunk band 32b, and a right-handed trunk band 32c in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum, and the same symbol (determined in advance) in the variable display game. If the predetermined symbols) are lined up on the effective line and displayed on the window portion 3, the winning combination is established (winning or operation). The star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangle mark in the figure are shown for convenience and are different from the actual ones. 7 symbols, bar symbol, bell symbol, watermelon symbol and cherry Designs and the like are generally used. In addition, the bobbin band is generally called a reel tape.

Rotating cylinder sensors 31a, 31b and 31c (not shown) are provided for each of the step motors 30a, 30b and 30c, and one pulse of an index signal is returned from each rotating cylinder sensor for each rotation of the step motor. It is coming. The main control unit 100 always grasps the symbol number and the rotation angle (24 divisions / symbol) at the reference position (for example, the lowest position of the window portion 3) based on the index signal and the number of output drive pulse signals (24 divisions / symbols). It has recognized.

FIG. 6 is a pattern arrangement table of the drum.

On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a rotating drum band (not shown) on which the left drum symbol, the middle drum symbol, and the right drum symbol are drawn goes around the outer periphery of each drum. It is stuck on.

As shown in the example, 21 differently arranged symbols are drawn on each sash, and the big bonus symbols "Red 7", "Blue 7", "Yellow 7", and "BAR" that activate the bonus are drawn. ] And various small winning symbols such as cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay that activates the replay are attached. Although not shown in this figure, the "discarded symbol" (also referred to as a blank symbol) does not form any role even if it stops on the effective line, and is circled in light gray so as not to be noticeable to the player. "N" may be printed inside. In other words, the discarded symbol is a symbol that is not related to winning.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a drum portion, and FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (B) show a state in which the right drum 2c is retract-controlled in chronological order.

When the main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game and the lottery result is won and the winning combination is internally won, the main control unit 100 performs pull-in control for drawing the symbol of the winning combination on the effective line as much as possible. Do.

For example, this is effective in the so-called reach state (or tempai state) in which the big bonus role is internally won and the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the effective line diagonally below the right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b that have stopped. When the symbol "7" is located within 4 frames above the line (that is, when it is located within 5 frames including the symbol on the effective line), when the right stop button 10c is stopped (FIG. 7 (A). ), The main control unit 100 forcibly pulls the symbol "7" onto the effective line and performs pull-in control to align the symbols "7, 7, 7" so as to be a combination (see FIG. 7 (B)). ..

On the other hand, even if any of the winning combinations is internally won by lottery, the player will not be in an advantageous state unless a predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the effective line. For example, the big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (B). It should be noted that this pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on any of the symbols on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of slip frames with respect to the virtual stop operation symbol frame position in advance with reference to the stop table that determines the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or loss). Then, the sliding frame number table for the first stop operation is completed. Then, when the stop button unit is actually stopped, the main control unit 100 moves the corresponding reel drum by the number of sliding frames corresponding to the symbol number at the reference position, and then stops. Take control. That is, the first stop operation position has a total of 63 frame positions (21 frames x 3 reels), and the number of sliding frames for all the frame positions is created in advance as a sliding frame number table (before the stop operation becomes possible). To do.

In the example of FIG. 7, in the tempai state, the symbol “7” of the right drum 2c is exactly four frames above, and is subject to pull-in control and is lined up on the effective line. However, this pull-in control is not limited to four frames, and the number of pull-in frames can be increased or decreased by software control so as to conform to the design specifications or the legal regulations in the reel control of the freeze effect. In addition, when the random number lottery result is won in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 provides auxiliary information (operation order and operation order) for stopping the rotation of the rotating drum so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by the pull-in control. Assist information such as operation timing: AT information) is notified by the display effect device 11 or voice.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a drum portion, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show a state in which the right drum 2c is evasively controlled (or kicked) in chronological order.

The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is lost and the winning combination is not established (when all the winning combinations are not internally won), the main control unit 100 wins or operates on the valid line. Evasion control is performed to prevent the symbols of the roles (bonus, small role, replay) from being aligned.

For example, in a reach state (tempai state) in which the big bonus role is not internally won and the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the effective line diagonally below the right of the stopped left drum 2a and middle drum 2b. When the stop button 10c is operated by a person by "pressing the eyes" while the symbol "7" is located within one frame from this effective line (for example, it is called "pressing the bitter"). (See A)), the main control unit 100 performs avoidance control by moving the symbol "7" to at least one step ahead so that "7, 7, 7" are not aligned on the effective line and forcibly losing the symbol "7". (See FIG. 8 (B)). This avoidance control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on any of the symbols on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. In addition, avoidance control is performed so that the unsuccessful small winning combination symbol does not win a prize. These pull-in control and avoidance control (kicking control) are stop control based on the number of slip frames table created in advance by the main control unit 100 with reference to the stop table according to the internal winning situation, and if necessary. It is controlled by a program.

FIG. 9 is a timing chart showing the relationship between the index signal, the symbol position data (frame data), the drive pulse signal, and the stop button sensor signal.

FIG. 9A shows index signals output from the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b and 31c, and is mainly controlled so that T1 becomes constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 rotations / minute). It is controlled by unit 100.

FIG. 9B shows the symbol position data of the rotating drum, and FIG. 9C shows the drive pulse signal.

The symbol position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and the data is subtracted by 1 every 24 pulses of the drive pulse signal. That is, based on the index signal, the symbol position data is "21" in the range of 1 pulse to 24 pulses for the drive pulse signal, and "20" is the symbol position data in the range of 25 pulses to 48 pulses for the drive pulse signal. The symbol position data is "19" when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 49 to 72 pulses, ..., The symbol position data is "1" when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 481 to 504 pulses, and the symbol position data is 21 to 1. Turn around. That is, the symbol position data returns to "21" after "1".

The drive pulse signal is a drive pulse of a specified pattern input to the motor coil in order to rotate the rotating drum in a certain direction, and as can be seen from the figure, there are eight pattern numbers of patterns 0 to 7. When pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly added to the motor coils 1 to 4 phases as this drive pulse signal three times (that is, when 24 pulses are input), the rotating drum rotates from top to bottom by one symbol (1 frame). To do.

In particular, the input pulse phase data of the drive pulse input to the step motor is 5-bit data of 0 to 23 for driving one frame of the rotating drum, and the pattern numbers 0 to 7 are the phase data of the lower 3 bits thereof. Then, the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is actually applied to the 1st to 4th phases of the motor coil. Therefore, even when only the pattern number is stored in the work RAM (RAM 102), it corresponds to the phase data storage means for storing the input pulse phase data.

FIG. 9D shows a stop button sensor signal output when each stop button is operated. In the case of this figure, the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “10” (or the pattern number “2”) at the time when the stop button sensor signal rises.

FIG. 10 is a schematic view of the left drum 2a included in the drum portion.

As shown in FIG. 10 (A), the left drum 2a rotates in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and a cherry pattern is placed in any of the upper, middle, or lower stages of the three window portions 3 shown by solid lines. When (the lower Chilean symbol in FIG. 6) stops, a prize is won and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. Note that FIG. 10A shows a state in which the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the window portion 3.

When the player performs the start operation of the variable display game, the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery, and as a result, when the upper cherry (cherry 1) is won, the position (timing) at which the stop button is operated. ) Performs pull-in control (see FIG. 9) or avoidance control (see FIG. 10) of the cherry symbol.

FIG. 10B shows a range in which pull-in control is possible, and the main control unit 100 has a window unit when the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the cherry symbol from the position just above the upper stage. Stop the cherry symbol in the upper row of 3 (assuming that the bita symbol is in the upper row). Actually, it takes about 36 ms to stop, so it is located above that amount, but for convenience of explanation, it is described as follows. In addition, since it is stipulated that the vehicle stops within 190 ms from the stop operation, it may not slide four frames. Data 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10A and 0 data overlapping with the cherry symbol indicate the number of sliding frames, and the main control unit 100 performs stop calculation processing based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Then, a slip frame number table is created so that the stop control can be performed immediately regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10.

On the other hand, FIGS. 10 (C) and 10 (D) show the range in which avoidance control and the like are performed, and in the main control unit 100, even when the upper cherry is won, the cherry symbol is 4 from the upper position. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 10A) or a position slightly past the upper position, the position is one above or below the upper position. Stop the cherry pattern one step down and make it a loss. That is, since the middle cherry (cherry 2) or the lower cherry (cherry 3) has not been won, the cherry symbol must be forcibly stopped outside the window portion 3.

FIG. 11 is a schematic view showing the relationship between the left drum 2a, the window portion 3, and the symbol position data.

As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, assuming that the cherry symbols on the left drum 2a are frame number 8 and frame number 19 (different from FIG. 6), the upper cherry is inside. In the case of winning, if the lowest position of the window unit 3 is used as the measurement reference, the main control unit 100 has the symbol position data "14" and the input pulse phase data "0" to the symbol position data "11" and the input pulse phase data. When the stop button 10a is operated in the range of "23" or the symbol position data "4" and the input pulse phase data "0" to the symbol position data "1" and the input pulse phase data "23", the cherry symbol is displayed in the upper row. Stop at and win a prize. In other words, even if the stop button 10a is operated appropriately, not only will the prize be won with a probability of 10/21, but if the winning notification is given, an expert can make a push and win a prize with a probability close to 100%. ..

FIG. 12 is a combination display determination diagram of symbols.

When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines a combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line according to the number of inserted game medals. Generally, when one game medal is inserted, the effective line is only the first line, when two game medals are inserted, the effective line is the first line, the second line and the third line, and when three game medals are inserted, the effective line is the effective line. In addition to the 1st to 3rd lines, all of the 4th and 5th lines are activated. For example, if three game medals are inserted and a cherry pattern for paying out two medals on the left drum 2a is displayed on the window 3, four medals (2 x 2 lines: 2nd line and 2nd line) are displayed in the upper row. 4 lines), 2 cards (2 cards x 1 line: 1st line) in the middle row, and 4 cards (2 cards x 2 lines: 3rd line and 5th line) in the lower row. However, this effective line is a general one that has been adopted conventionally, and as will be described later, there are many lines with only one line or irregular lines these days. The maximum number of cards that can be paid out at one time is 15.

FIG. 13 is a block diagram of the display effect device.

The display effect device 11 includes a transmission / reception unit 11a for receiving an effect command from the sub-control unit 160 and transmitting necessary information, a display effect control unit 11b (including ROM 11c and RAM 11d), an LCD, an organic EL, an LED, and the like. The display panel 11e of the above is provided. In the case of this figure, the display effect control unit 11b is separately provided with the ROM 11c, but there is no problem even if all the video data is stored in the ROM 161. Therefore, the ROM 11c can be considered as a part of the ROM 161.

FIG. 14 is an effect pattern table, and associates the relationship between the effect command and the effect pattern data stored in the ROM.

The production command consists of 1-byte length mode data and 1-byte length event data, and is stored in association with the production pattern data (mainly moving images, but also still images), which is the production content. ..

When the sub control unit 160 receives control data required for various controls from the main control unit 100 (particularly, various data indicating a large hit, a small hit, a replay, or a loss of the random number lottery result is included), the sub control unit 160 receives a random number. Before notifying the result of the lottery, an appropriate effect command corresponding to the control data is transmitted to the display effect device 11, and the command receiving unit 11a receives this effect command and transmits it to the display effect control unit 11b.

When the display effect control unit 11b receives the effect command, the display effect control unit 11b reads the effect pattern data corresponding to the effect command from the ROM 11c, develops the data in the RAM 11d, and transmits the effect image to the display panel 11e to display the effect image corresponding to the effect command. It is configured to be displayed on the screen.

15 to 17 are schematic views of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

When the sub-control unit 160 transmits, for example, ($ Z0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e mainly indicates a state in which there is no stock of pseudo-bonus or a state in which it is difficult to win the pseudo-bonus. The effect pattern 0 ”is displayed (see FIG. 15 (A)). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Y0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e indicates a state in which there is a stock of pseudo-bonus or a high-probability state in which the pseudo-bonus is likely to be won. "Night effect pattern 0" is displayed (see FIG. 15B). Therefore, the player expects or longs for the display of a "night production stage" that mainly suggests a high probability state during the game. However, even if there is no stock of pseudo-bonus or in a non-high probability state, the "night production stage" is displayed, and vice versa. It may be displayed. The pseudo-bonus is a special game in which the assist function is activated, and the assist bonus starts when the pseudo-bonus is released.

Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ S0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e superimposes "Dracula Castle", which is an image corresponding to "castle effect pattern 0", on the background screen of the blue sky. It is designed to be displayed (see Fig. 15 (A)) or overlaid on the background screen of the moonlit night (see Fig. 17 (B)), after which yellow, red, or blue bats pop out from Dracula Castle. It comes and displays the notification image corresponding to the established combination (small combination or replay) (see FIG. 15C).

When the effect shown in FIG. 15B develops in multiple stages, it is a state in which there is a stock of pseudo-bonus and the release probability is high, or the expectation of pseudo-bonus release is high or a fixed precursor effect. For example, FIG. 16A shows a state in which the outer gate of "Dracula Castle" is enlarged and the iron gate is about to open. Then, it invades Dracula Castle and the door expands (see Fig. 16 (B)), the door gradually opens (see Fig. 16 (C)), and the inside of the gorgeous "Dracula Castle" is displayed (Fig. 16). (D)). After that, it develops into a battle between the hero and the vampire Count Dracula, and if the hero wins, there is a stock of pseudo bonuses and the release of the pseudo bonus is confirmed, and the inside of the actual bonus is being elected and the actual bonus release is confirmed.

From the state where the normal screen at night in FIG. 17 (A) (same as in FIG. 15 (B)) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the graveyard is enlarged, and the character's butler shouts "Orya". Along with the sound effect "Tirorororone", the main character appears from the graveyard in the center of the screen (see Fig. 17 (B)), and the characters "BONUS" meaning "big hit" are displayed (see Fig. 17 (B)). By making it (see FIG. 17C), it may be a premier production. All of these display effects are also executed by receiving control commands and event data from the main control unit 100 and outputting the effect commands according to the program by the sub control unit 160.

FIG. 18 is a conceptual diagram of a general lottery table.

The lottery table is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 101, and defines the relationship between the winning combination and the number used for the random number lottery.

In the case of the rotating drum type gaming machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random number value. As for this random value, all the values from 0 to 65535 (m7) are periodically generated at random only once in one cycle (about 6.5 ms). FIG. 18A is a lottery table used in a normal state (initial state or non-RT state) having a high probability of loss, and when the main control unit 100 draws an internal lottery at the timing when the start lever 9 is operated. In addition, if the random number value is in the range of 0 to m1, the big bonus (BB) will be won. That is, this internal lottery is to pick up (extract) only one random number value at the time of the start operation and compare it with the lottery table to determine the winning combination.

Similarly, regular bonus (RB) in the range of random number m1 + 1 to m2, cherry in the range of random number m2 + 1 to m3, watermelon in the range of random number m3 + 1 to m4, bell in the range of random number m4 + 1 to m5. And while the replay is won in the range of m5 + 1 to m6 of the random number value, it is lost in the range of m6 + 1 to m7 of the random number value.

Normally, these values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of legal regulations (Fueiho) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about "1/400" and the RB winning probability is "1/300". , The winning probability of cherry and watermelon is about "1/50", the winning probability of bell is about "1/6", and the winning probability of replay is 1 / 7.3. In addition, although BB and RB are elected independently, they may be elected at the same time as the rare role.

On the other hand, FIG. 18B is a lottery table used in the high-probability replay state (RT state), and the winning range of the replay is widened by α in the replay time, while the range of loss is narrowed by α. As a result, the winning probability of the replay is set to about "1/2". As a result, while the probability of winning a replay equivalent to a three-card payout is greatly increased, the probability of losing is reduced, and as a result, the expected value of payout of game medals is greatly improved or increased in the replay time. .. Further, the main control unit 100 can set the expected value of the replay time to a desired value by increasing or decreasing this α value.

Although the detailed drawing of the lottery table is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery table 2 ... lottery table 6 corresponding to the step setting values 1 to 6 of the payout rate and the number of inserted medals (specified number), and the main control unit. Selects a lottery table according to the stage setting value set by the stage setting unit 150 and the number of inserted medals, and executes a bonus game or an internal lottery of a plurality of small wins in the variable display game. Since the expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally lottery table 1 <lottery table 2 <... <lottery table 6, the player pursues a high setting table. However, if it is a three-card dedicated machine, a lottery table with one medal is unnecessary.

FIG. 19 is a payout table showing the relationship between the combination of symbols and the number of medals won.

BB (Big Bonus) is the role name when the BB symbol of "Red 7", the BB symbol of "Blue 7", and the BB symbol of "Yellow 7" are aligned on the effective line. Set flag 1 in the flag area, and when these symbols are aligned, the number of medals won will be 0, and you will enter the big bonus game (BB1 game to BB3 game: operation of the character continuous operation device) and end with a payout of over 359 cards. To do.

RB (Regular Bonus) is the RB pattern of "Red 7", "Red 7" and "BAR", the RB pattern of "Blue 7", "Blue 7" and "BAR", and the "Yellow 7", "Yellow 7" and "BAR". It is the role name when the RB symbols are aligned on the valid line, and if you win internally, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and if these symbols are aligned, the number of medals won is 0, and the regular bonus game (RB game: accessory) It rushes into the operation of the continuous operation device) and ends with a payout of more than 119 sheets. It should be noted that these accessory continuous operation devices may be either a first-class special accessory or a second-class special accessory, and are appropriately selected according to the design specifications. As will be described later, in the model called RT machine, when the bonus game started by winning the bonus combination is completed, the high probability game in which the winning probability of the re-game combination is higher than the predetermined probability is determined in advance. It can be executed as many times as possible. Further, in this RT machine, when a specific symbol is displayed in the high-probability game, the high-probability game in which the winning probability of the re-game combination fluctuates can be executed a predetermined number of times.

If the cherry symbol stops on the effective line of the left drum, one medal will be won for each effective line. For example, if the effective line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, if the left drum is stopped in the middle stage, the number of effective lines is one. If the watermelon symbols are aligned on the effective line, 5 medals will be won. If the bell symbols are aligned on the effective line, eight medals will be won.

When the replay role is internally elected, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and one of the replay operation symbols is always aligned on the effective line (also called the replay role winning). When the replay operation symbol is displayed, the replay without medals is activated, and the player operates the start lever 9 to perform the replay and lower the flag (that is, set it to 0). In other words, the next game can be played without inserting medals. The timing of lowering the flag is arbitrary.

Next, the basic operation of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart or the like.

First, in the state where the rotating cylinder type game machine is shipped from the factory, by default, the warning mode when the step setting operation of the ball ejection rate is performed is "on state", and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is ". It is assumed that it is "off" and the step setting value is set to the lowest "1".

On the game hall side, when the front door of the rotating cylinder type game machine main body 1 is opened and the power switch 28c is turned on before letting the player play, power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main control unit 100 will be described later. In step S100, the initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and initial setting (for example, the stop setting flag "1", the stage setting value "1" stored in the ROM 101, and the initial value of the control data are written to the RAM 102) are executed. Then, the sub-control unit 160 sets the warning mode to the "on state", and when the front door 1b is closed, the variable display game can be played.

In this state, it is assumed that the game hall side is trying to change the setting of the ball output rate for a grand opening, a new store opening, or an event in this setting state.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a main operation processing procedure of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine.

Employees of the game hall open the front door of the rotating game machine main body 1 to temporarily turn off the power switch 28c, insert the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a, and turn it to the right to turn it on (FIG. 2). (Refer to the enlarged view of the key switch for setting), and when the power switch 28c is turned on again, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after the initial check and initial setting are executed in step S100, the main control unit 100 steps. In S110, it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 28a is in the ON state.

If the setting key switch 28a is not in the ON state, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130, while if it is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 calls the setting change subroutine in step S120 (shifts to the setting change mode).

In the setting change mode of step S120, the game hall side inputs the step setting value "6" having the highest payout rate before letting the player play, and hits the start lever 9 once to confirm the setting value, and the setting key switch. When 28a is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the set value to "6", and performs necessary processing such as initial hardware check and initial setting again.

When the main control unit 100 outputs control data to the sub control unit 160 in order to set the display of the initial screen in step S100, the sub control unit 160 displays ($ Y0 $ 01) as an effect command, for example. Send to 11. As a result, the display panel 11e displays a "night effect pattern 1" composed of a full moon, a Dracula castle, and a graveyard screen in the night sky as a start screen (not shown).

When the main control unit 100 shifts to step S130 after changing the stage setting value, it checks for the occurrence of an abnormality such as a door open, a hopper error, or a selector error. While returning to step S100, if there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S150. In particular, the main control unit 100 indicates that, as an abnormality check, the stage setting value data stored in the work RAM area corresponds to 0 to 5 (the stage setting values displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c correspond to 1 to 6, respectively. ), And if the stage setting value is not within the predetermined range, a warning (“EE” error character display) is displayed by the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game status display LED unit 13. , Light emission and warning sound) to perform error processing (abnormal processing in step S140).

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S150, the medal detection sensor 130 or the bet button sensor 140 determines whether or not the player has inserted the required number of game medals for the game, and when a predetermined number of medals have been inserted. The process proceeds to step S160, while the process returns to step S130 if it has not been inserted, and waits while looping each step until there is a medal insertion operation.

When the main control unit 100 shifts to step S160, the player operates the start lever to check whether or not the variable display game has been started, and if it has started, the main control unit 100 shifts to step S170 while starting the variable display game. If not, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until there is a start operation.

The main control unit 100 executes the main process of the variable display game in step S170, performs a random number lottery according to the reception timing of the start signal, and picks up (extracts) the random number value and the current internal state (RT or non-RT). It is determined whether or not an internal winner has been won by comparing with the lottery table of (see the explanation in FIG. 18).

The main control unit 100 transmits a lottery result command and a game start signal to the sub control unit 160, rotates the drum units 2 all at once, and displays a plurality of drums 2a, middle drums 2b, and right drums 2c. Start a variable display game in which the symbol of is changed at a predetermined speed.

In the main control unit 100, as described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the player operates the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, or the right stop button 10c of the stop button unit 10 to operate each symbol sequence (rotating body band). When is stopped, pull-in control is performed to align the symbols according to the internal winning combination on the effective line, and conversely, avoidance control is performed to align the symbols. When the sub-control unit 160 receives the lottery result command and the game start signal from the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 draws an effect to determine whether or not to display the effect on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game status display LED unit 13. Is performed, and the result of the lottery for big hits (bonus winning), small wins, replays, or losses is notified to the player according to the operation of the stop button unit 10. The main control unit 100 executes stop control with reference to the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 determines that a winning combination is established if predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on the effective line of the window unit 3 in each variation display game of the general game, and the payout table stored in the ROM 161 (see FIG. 19). ), The game medal is paid out from the medal payout device 18 and the payout is discharged from the medal payout outlet 16 when the payout is added as a credit or exceeds the storage upper limit value.

In the big bonus game (BB game) in which three red 7s are arranged, the BB game mode is terminated when the continuous operation device for the accessory is activated and the number of acquired cards exceeds 360. In addition, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blue 7 symbols are arranged, the RB game mode is terminated when the continuous character operating device is activated and the number of acquired cards exceeds 120. ..

Then, when the main control unit 100 finishes the game main process of step S170, the main control unit 100 returns to step S130 and repeats the process sequentially.

Next, the operation of the rotating cylinder type game machine basically configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to drawings, flowcharts, and the like. In particular, a revolving game machine (A + ART type) in which the winning probability of the replay fluctuates and the actual bonus and the assist bonus (ART, third bonus, pseudo-bonus, etc.) are installed will be described.

FIG. 21 is a design layout of the drum.

The left drum 2a (1st drum), the middle drum 2b (2nd drum), and the right drum 2c (3rd drum) each have a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol. A torso band (not shown) is attached so as to go around the outer periphery of each drum.

Each sash has a different arrangement of symbols (upper shin symbol, lower shin symbol, BAR symbol, blue seven symbol, red cherry symbol, blue cherry symbol, white pumpkin symbol, green pumpkin symbol, replay symbol, and bell symbol. 20 types) are arranged.

FIG. 22 is a combination display determination diagram of symbols.

When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines a combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (FIG. 22 (FIG. 22). See A)). However, in all games (normal games, assist games, bonus games, etc.), the prescribed number is assumed to be three.

22 (B) and 22 (C) are effective lines when a specified number of three game medals are inserted, and the first line is anomalous in the order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. Only (lower, middle, middle: irregular horizontal line) is valid. That is, in all games, three cards are always inserted, and the effective line is the irregular first line.

FIG. 23 is a payout table during normal operation and bonus operation.

When all three reels (rotary cylinders or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines a combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line (see FIG. 22).

(1) Bonus 1 (continuous operation device for the first-class special accessory): (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (red cherry) on the right drum 2c on the effective line. When all of them are stopped, the number of acquired cards is 0 and a bonus of 1 is given after that (Type 1 BB1 is activated. BIG bonus). Since the BAR symbols appear to be aligned in a straight line on the upper right, there is no sense of discomfort for the player. This is a bonus 1 game, and ends when the number of acquired cards exceeds 144.

(2) Bonus 2 (continuous operation device for the first-class special accessory): (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (blue cherry) on the right drum 2c on the effective line. When all of them are stopped, the number of acquired cards is 0 and bonus 2 is given after that (Type 1 BB2 is activated. Regular bonus). The BAR symbol, the BAR symbol, and the blue 7 symbol appear to be aligned in the upper right corner, so there is no sense of discomfort for the player. This is a bonus 2 game, and ends when the number of acquired cards exceeds 144.

(3) Middle bell: When the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line in the center, and the middle bell is displayed. Will win a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be nine.

(4) Lower right bell: For example, when (BAR) is on the left drum 2a, (bell) is on the middle drum 2b, and (replay) is on the right drum 2c and stops, a bell symbol is displayed on the lower right. , The lower right bell wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be nine.

(5) Lower right bell loss (increasing role during BB): For example, during a BB game, (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When stopped, it will be displayed as if the bell design was missed on the lower right, and the lower right bell loss will win a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be nine. In a normal game, even if this symbol is displayed, it will be lost and the number of medals (game media) acquired will be 0.

(6) Upper bell: For example, when (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (blue 7) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the bell symbol is displayed on the upper row and the upper row. Bell wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be nine. There are 27 types of upper bells, which serve as an obstructive small role in the push order small role described later.

(7) Push order small role: Left 1st is the correct push order push order bell role (left), middle 1st is the correct push order push order cherry role (middle), right 1st is the correct answer push order push order cherry role (7) There are three types (right), and if the first stop operation is the correct answer for the three-choice small winning combination, the target small winning combination will win in the subsequent second and third operations.

(8) Middle cherry: For example, when the left drum 2a has the 20th (white pumpkin), the middle drum 2b has the 2nd (BAR), and the right drum 2c has the 11th (bell) on the effective line. , Middle cherry wins. The number of medals (game media) won will be nine. It is possible to display all three BAR symbols on the lower right. The middle-tier cherry role is a trigger for the freeze lottery, and when won, a freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and at least five pseudo bonuses are stocked and immediately released.

(9) Lower right pumpkin (lower right watermelon): For example, 17th (replay) on the left drum 2a, 14th (white pumpkin) on the middle drum 2b, and 13th (red cherry) on the right drum 2c are effective. When the pumpkins are aligned on the line and stopped, a pumpkin pattern is displayed on the lower right, and the lower right pumpkin wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be five.

(10) Upper right pumpkin (upper right watermelon): For example, 13th (green pumpkin) on the left drum 2a, 19th (white pumpkin) on the middle drum 2b, and 3rd (upper thin) on the right drum 2c are effective. When the pumpkins are aligned on the line and stopped, the pumpkin pattern is displayed in the upper right corner, and the upper right pumpkin wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be five.

(11) Strong pumpkin (strong watermelon): For example, 13th (green pumpkin) on the left drum 2a, 19th (white pumpkin) on the middle drum 2b, and 3rd (lower thin) on the right drum 2c are effective lines. When the pumpkins are aligned on the top and stopped, the pumpkin symbol, the upper thin symbol, and the lower thin symbol are displayed in the upper right corner, and the strong pumpkin wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired is 5, and the two symbols, the upper thin symbol and the lower thin symbol, stop in the display window frame, which is powerful.

(12) Middle replay: For example, the role name when the left drum 2a has the 18th (BAR), the middle drum 2b has the 7th (replay), and the right drum 2c has the 5th (replay) on the effective line. On the other hand, no medal is won, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in the game. It is effective even if it is arranged continuously after the next game, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until the game in which the replay is unsuccessful. A medal is automatically inserted before the start of the game, and the player can operate the start lever 9 to play the next game. When a normal replay is internally won by a random number lottery, the RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set and the replay symbol is always displayed. In appearance, the replay patterns are aligned horizontally in the center. Even if the operation symbol of the re-game A is displayed, the re-game probability does not change.

(13) Upper right replay: For example, when the 7th (replay) on the left drum 2a, the 2nd (replay) on the middle drum 2b, and the 16th (bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped. The replay symbol is displayed ascending to the right, and the replay operates in the same way as the normal replay.

(14) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): For example, (BAR) on the left drum 2a, 12 (replay) on the middle drum 2b, and 14 (white pumpkin) on the right drum 2c are all on the effective line. This is the name of the role in the case of, and no medal is won for this, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in the game. In appearance, two replay symbols and a pumpkin symbol (re-re-ka) are displayed in a straight line in the center. When the RT2 transition replay is internally won by a random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 2 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates to about 2/3, and the RT2 state is entered.

(15) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): For example, the role name when the 17th (replay) on the left drum 2a, the (replay) on the middle drum 2b, and the (replay) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. On the other hand, no medal is won, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in the game. In appearance, the bell symbol, the replay symbol, and the replay symbol (be re-ri) are displayed in a straight line in the center. When the RT3 transition replay is internally won by a random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 3 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates to about 2/3, and the RT3 state is entered. In addition, the type of the re-game combination to be drawn and the winning range are different between the RT3 state and the RT2 state.

(16) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): For example, 17th (replay) on the left drum 2a, 16th (blue seven) on the middle drum 2b, and 14th (white pumpkin) on the right drum 2c are effective. It is the name of the role when they are aligned on the line, and no medals are won for this, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in that game. In appearance, the replay patterns are aligned in the lower row. When the RT1 transition replay is internally won by a random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 1 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state (fall replay).

(17) Blue Seven Replay: For example, the left drum 2a has the 11th (replay), the middle drum 2b has the 16th (blue seven), and the right drum 2c has the 17th (blue seven) on the effective line. When it stops, the blue seven symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center, and the blue seven replay role is activated. You can get great benefits about the ART function.

(18) Cherry replay: For example, by the player's reverse push operation, No. 19 (blue cherry) on the left drum 2a, (Any) on the middle drum 2b, and (Any) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When stopped, cherry replay is activated. There are three types of cherry replays: strong cherry, medium cherry, and weak cherry, and players can get great benefits for the ART function.

(19) Symbol replay (not shown): For example, by the player's reverse push operation, the left drum 2a is No. 5 (white pumpkin), the middle drum 2b is No. 4 (lower thin), and the right drum 2c is 4 When the number (lower thin) is aligned on the effective line and stops, three completed symbol symbols are displayed on the upper stage of all reel drums, and the symbol replay is activated. The player earns three game points. You can get great benefits about the ART function.

(20) Small push order (push order bell role and push order cherry role) Koboshi eyes (1 to m): A special symbol displayed on the effective line when the bell role is missed in the push order small role described later. (Falling symbol), and when any one of the special symbols is displayed, the re-game probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when No. 12 (replay) is displayed on the left drum 2a, No. 4 (bell) is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and (replay) is displayed on the right drum 2c (display of a fall pattern), the game state is displayed. It shifts to the RT1 state (others are omitted).

The main control unit 100 manages the push-order small wins in which a plurality of small wins are won at the same time and the push-order replays in which a plurality of replays are won at the same time as a group win (or push-order group win). During AT (while the assist function is not activated), regardless of whether the push order small combination or the push order replay is internally won, the information that the group combination has been won is only transmitted to the sub control unit 160, so the sub control unit 160 cannot recognize the correct answer pressing order. The main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination information to the sub control unit 160 after the second stop operation, and the sub control unit 160 performs an effect based on the winning combination information.

(21) Premier role (not shown): When the left drum 2a (lower thin), the middle drum 2b (upper thin), and the right drum 2c (upper thin) stop on the effective line, the premier role is played. Win a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be three. This premier role is a special role in which at least 10 pseudo bonuses are won by lottery, and the pseudo bonus is released immediately. Three completed symbol symbols are displayed at the bottom of all reel drums.

24 to 26 are a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small winning combination) of the condition devices of the pushing order small winning combination (left first, middle first or right first).

The push order small winning combination is always a bell small winning combination (lower right bell: winning small winning combination) or a corner cherry (winning purpose small winning combination) when the operation order of the stop button section 10 (pressing order of the stop button section 10) is correct. )) On the other hand, in the case of incorrect answer procedure, when one of multiple types of 9 small wins (27 types of obstructive small wins) that are won at the same time is won, and when there are multiple bumps. It is a duplicate winning small role that sometimes displays one of the (missing symbols of the obstructive small role). Since this push order small role wins in one-third, it can be said that it is a three-choice small role (1/3 winning small role). In other words, if the first operation is the correct answer, the bell small role or the corner cherry will always win.

In the push-order bell combination (left), the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent operation may be either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c. Push-order bell 1 is a one-time push-order type push-order small winning combination, and the purpose is to win a prize, and the payout hinders the winning of the same first small winning combination (right-down bell role: FRU1) and the first small winning combination. A plurality of types of second small winning combinations (in this case, three types of nine small winning combination (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36)) constituting the target second small winning combination group are simultaneously elected (pushing order bell 1-1 in FIG. 24). (Refer to). Since there are nine types of push order bells 1 from push order bells 1-1 to push order bells 1-9, the player sees the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel and has a small hindrance to the 9-card combination. The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the role.

In the push-order cherry combination (middle), the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent operation may be either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c. The push order cherry role (middle) is a single push order type push order small role, and the dividend is the same for the purpose of winning the first small role (Kaku cherry role: FRU2), hindering the winning of the first small role A plurality of types of second small winning combinations (in this case, three types of nine small winning combination (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36)) constituting the second small winning combination group to be played are simultaneously won (pushing order cherry 2 in FIG. 25). (See -1). The push order cherry 2 and the push order bell 1 differ only in the first small winning combination. The push order cherry role (middle) is the push order cherry 2-1 to the push order cherry 2-. Since there are 9 types up to 9, the player cannot operate the stop button part 10 aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the obstructive small winning combination of the 9-card combination by looking at the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel. Since the cherry pattern is displayed in the lower part of the left drum 2a, the player has an impression like the lower cherry of the single pattern small role, and there is no sense of discomfort.

In the push-order cherry combination (right), the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent operation may be either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c. The push order cherry role (right) is a single push order type push order small role, and the dividend is the same for the purpose of winning the first small role (Kaku cherry role: FRU3), which hinders the winning of the first small role. A plurality of types of second small winning combinations (in this case, three types of nine small winning combination (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36)) constituting the second small winning combination group to be played are simultaneously won (pushing order cherry 3 in FIG. 26). (See -1). The push order cherry 3 and the push order bell 1 differ only in the first small winning combination. The push order cherry role (right) is the push order cherry 3-1 to the push order cherry 3-. Since there are 9 types up to 9, the player cannot operate the stop button part 10 aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the obstructive small winning combination of the 9-card combination by looking at the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel. Since the cherry pattern is displayed in the lower part of the left drum 2a, the player has an impression like the lower cherry of the single pattern small role, and there is no sense of discomfort.

27 to 28 are schematic views showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 24 by random number lottery, the condition device of FRU1 + FR10 + FR23 + FR36 is simultaneously operated (four different types of nine small winning combinations are simultaneously performed). Based on the operation order information (1st on the left) stored in correspondence with the ROM 101, it is determined that the operation order on the left is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes a stop calculation process (a process of pulling in the FRU1 symbol on the left 1st) based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information, and the player stops button unit 10 at what time and timing. Create a sliding frame number table so that stop control can be performed immediately even if the operation is performed. Further, the sliding frame number table is similarly created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation (see the explanation in FIG. 10).

FIG. 27A shows a state in which all the drum portions 2 are rotating from top to bottom at a constant speed. When the player first stops the left stop button 10a in the correct operation order in the state of FIG. 27 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and obtains the corresponding sliding frame number data. Based on this, the left drum 2a is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw any one of the upper thin symbol / BAR symbol / green pumpkin symbol into the effective line (simply, the drum portion 2 is moved). It is only moved by the number of sliding frames (see FIG. 27 (B)). For example, the 18th BAR symbol stops on the effective line, and the 16th bell symbol is displayed in the upper row. In the state of FIG. 27B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c can be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, in the range of 0 to 4 frames. The left drum 2a is stopped, and control is performed to draw the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit symbol) into the effective line (see FIG. 27 (C)). In the state of FIG. 27 (C), the FRU1 is tempted and the bell symbol (small combination explicit symbol) is displayed in a straight line. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the right stop button 10c is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 , Refer to the sliding frame number table, and stop the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and perform stop control to draw the replay symbol to the effective line (Fig.). 27 (D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is the correct answer, FRU1 always wins, the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit symbol) is displayed in a straight line downward to the right, and nine medals are paid out. However, although the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line in appearance, it may or may not be on the winning line.

FIG. 28 shows a case where the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a and then the second stop operation of the right stop button 10c, and if the first stop operation is the correct answer, the FRU1 always wins a prize. , The bell symbol (small role explicit symbol) is displayed in a straight line downward to the right, and 9 medals are paid out. However, although the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line in appearance, it may or may not be on the winning line.

FIG. 29 is a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order. However, since FIG. 29 (A) is the same as FIG. 27 (A), a duplicate description will be omitted.

When the player first stops the right stop button 10c in the incorrect answer operation order in the state of FIG. 29 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the slip frame number table and the corresponding slip frame number. Based on the data, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to always draw any one of the BAR symbol, the blue seven symbol, and the green pumpkin symbol into the effective line (FIG. 29 (Fig. 29). B) See). Therefore, any one of the three small winning combinations is always stopped on the effective line. In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped at the effective line, there is a possibility that only FRU10 will win the prize at this point, and the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit symbol) is stopped in the upper right row.

In the state of FIG. 29B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b can be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and is left in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a BAR symbol within the pull-in range, stop control is performed to pull the symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 29 (C)). The 18th BAR symbol can be pulled in when there are 5 symbols 18 to 2 on the effective line, so the pull-in probability is 25% (5/20). If the 18th BAR symbol cannot be pulled in, the lost stitch symbol is stopped on the effective line, and the obstructive stitch (RT fluctuation trigger symbol) is displayed at the third stop.

In the state of FIG. 29 (C), the FRU 10 is tempered, and two bell symbols (small combination explicit symbols) are displayed in a straight line on the upper stage of the display window. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player operates the middle stop button 10b for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and controls to draw the blue seven symbol into the effective line (FIG. FIG. 29 (D)). In the figure, FRU10 wins a prize, the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit symbol) is displayed in a straight line on the upper row, and nine medals are paid out. The 16th blue seven symbol can be pulled in when the 16th to 20th symbols are on the effective line, so the pull-in probability is 25% (5/20). On the other hand, if the blue seven symbol cannot be pulled into the effective line, the rugged eyes of the inhibitory role (smaller push order) are displayed (not shown).

30 to 31 are schematic views showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order. However, since FIG. 30 (A) is the same as FIG. 27 (A), a duplicate description will be omitted.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order cherry 2-1 shown in FIG. 25 by random number lottery, the condition device of FRU2 + FR10 + FR23 + FR36 is simultaneously operated (four different types of nine small winning combinations are simultaneously activated). Based on the operation order information (middle 1st) stored corresponding to the ROM 101, it is determined that the operation order in the middle is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes a stop calculation process (a process of pulling in the FRU2 symbol in the middle 1st) based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information, and the player stops button unit 10 at what time and timing. Create a sliding frame number table so that stop control can be performed immediately even if the operation is performed. Further, the sliding frame number table is similarly created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation (see the explanation in FIG. 10).

In the state of FIG. 30A, when the player first stops the middle stop button 10b in the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and is based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. Then, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw the bell symbol No. 5 into the effective line, for example. In the state of FIG. 30B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c can be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the right stop button 10c, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, in the range of 0 to 4 frames. The right drum 2c is stopped, and control is performed to draw the replay symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 30C). In the state of FIG. 30C, the FRU2 is tempted and the bell symbol (small combination explicit symbol) is displayed in a straight line. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the second stop operation so that the left stop button 10a may be operated, and when the left stop button 10a is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 , Refer to the sliding frame number table, stop the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and one of the lower thin symbol / red cherry symbol / blue cherry symbol. Is stopped to be drawn into the effective line (see FIG. 30 (D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is the correct answer, FRU2 will definitely win a prize, and the cherry symbol (small role of a specific single symbol: lower thin symbol / red cherry symbol / blue cherry symbol) will be displayed on the lower row of the left reel. Nine medals will be paid out. Therefore, the player feels that the single che (corner cherry) has won the prize, so there is no sense of discomfort. Here, the small role of a specific single pattern means a small role that impresses the player with (cherry, any, any).

FIG. 31 shows a case where the player performs the first stop operation of the middle stop button 10b and then the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a, and if the first stop operation is the correct answer, the FRU2 always wins a prize. , Cherry symbol or symbol symbol (small winning combination of a specific single symbol) is displayed at the bottom of the left reel (displayed in the winning mode of the small winning combination of the single symbol), and 9 medals are paid out.

FIG. 32 is a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order. However, since FIG. 32 (A) is the same as FIG. 27 (A), a duplicate description will be omitted.

When the player first stops the left stop button 10a in the incorrect answer operation order in the state of FIG. 32 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and the corresponding sliding frame number. Based on the data, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to always draw any one of the BAR symbol, the upper thin symbol, and the green pumpkin symbol into the effective line (FIG. 32 (Fig. 32). B) See). Therefore, any one of the three small winning combinations is always stopped on the effective line. In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped at the effective line, at this point, only FRU10 may win, and the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit symbol) is stopped at the upper left.

In the state of FIG. 32B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c can be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the right stop button 10c, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and is right in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The drum 2c is stopped, and if there is a BAR symbol within the pull-in range, stop control is performed to pull the symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 32 (C)). The 12th BAR symbol can be pulled in when there are 5 symbols 12 to 16 on the effective line, so the pull-in probability is 25% (5/20). If the 12th BAR symbol cannot be pulled in, the lost eye symbol is stopped on the effective line, and the obstructive Koboshi eye (RT fluctuation trigger symbol) is displayed at the 3rd stop.

In the state of FIG. 32 (C), the FRU 10 is tempered, and two bell symbols (small winning combination explicit symbols) are displayed in a straight line on the upper stage of the display window. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player operates the middle stop button 10b for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and controls to draw the blue seven symbol into the effective line (FIG. FIG. 32 (D)). In the figure, FRU10 wins a prize, the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit symbol) is displayed in a straight line on the upper row, and nine medals are paid out. The 17th blue seven symbol can be pulled in when the 16th to 20th symbols are on the effective line, so the pull-in probability is 25% (5/20). On the other hand, when the blue seven symbol cannot be drawn into the effective line, the bumpy stitches (for example, BAR symbol, bell symbol, BAR symbol) of the inhibitory role (pushing order small role) are displayed (not shown). Since the right-first incorrect answer operation has the same stop control logic, the description thereof will be omitted. Further, since the right first correct answer push order cherry role (right) has the same stop control logic, the explanation is omitted.

FIG. 33 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replay combination) does not fluctuate, and is a game immediately after the stage setting value is reset or an actual bonus game (BB1 to BB2: From the next game after the type 1 bonus continuous operation device) is completed, the general game starts in the initial state (also referred to as "initial replay state"). The replay winning probability (replay probability) in this general game is about 1 / 7.3, and in particular, the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), the RT2 transition replay (replay 2), and the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) are internal. Since no winner is won, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned bumps of the push order small winning combination must be displayed on the effective line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) or BB2 (bonus 2) is internally won, activated by symbol display, or ended with a payout exceeding a predetermined number, only RT4, bonus game, and RT0 will occur, so this route will also shift to RT1. It is not possible.

In a general game in the RT0 state, a small push-order combination (push-order bell role or push-order cherry role) is internally won, and if the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10 is mistaken, a bumpy pattern is displayed on the effective line. Then, from the next game, it will be in the RT1 state (the number of continuous games is not fixed, that is, it is infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the combinations shown in FIG. 23 are randomly drawn and can be won individually or at the same time. That is, the game in the initial state and the game in the RT1 state are in the game state of about 1 / 7.3, which has almost the same replay probability, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in this RT1 state. However, in this initial state, the RT1 transition replay to the RT3 transition replay are not won, so the transition from the RT1 state to the RT3 state cannot be performed unless the Koboshi pattern is displayed on the valid line.

When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the operation symbol is displayed on the valid line, the replay probability fluctuates and shifts to the RT2 state, but the replay probability is almost the same, about 1 /. It remains at 7.3 and often loses.

In the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), when the player operates the stop button portion 10, if the 6-choice push order is accidentally answered correctly and the RT3 transition replay is activated, the RT3 transition replay shifts to the RT3 state, so RT1 is swiftly performed. It has a function to drop it into a state (that is, the same function as a bumpy eye) (fall replay).

When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won in the RT2 state, the 6-choice push order is correct, and the operation symbol is displayed on the valid line, the replay probability is almost the same, about 1 / 1.5 RT3 state. It becomes. Further, the RT3 state is different from the RT1 state and the RT2 state in that the type of the winning replay combination and the size of the winning area are different. Then, the winning area of the replay role is narrowed to have an area that is lost at 655/65536 (about 1/100). The reason is that it is possible to have a sense of expectation by giving a lost eye and making the player think that it is a reach eye. In the RT2 state or the RT3 state, when the grain of the bell role is displayed on the effective line, the player falls to the RT1 state. In addition, in the RT2 state, the RT1 transition replay is not won in order not to fall to the RT1 state. On the other hand, in the RT3 state, the RT1 transition replay is won at the same time as either BB1 or BB2, and the player is internally elected by either BB1 or BB2 by shifting to the RT4 state without shifting to the RT1 state. (Specific action and effect).

The actual bonus (bonus 1 to bonus 2) can be won in the initial state, RT1 state, RT2 state and RT3 state, but since it is won at the same time as the small role or the replay role, it must go through the RT4 state inside the bonus. Or you will be able to win a prize. Bonus 1 is that when a BAR symbol is aimed at each drum in the single winning state, the BAR symbol apparently stops in a straight line at the upper right, and the number of payouts exceeds the specified number after the operation (after the bonus 1 game). And return to the initial replay state. The RT4 state is a state in which bonus 1 to bonus 2 are internally won (bonus carry-over state), and if a loss is drawn in this state, bonus 1 symbol to bonus 2 symbol can be aligned. The reason is that the symbol of the replay role internally won by the main control unit 100 is prioritized over the BAR symbol (bonus symbol), and the symbol of the small winning combination internally won is prioritized over the BAR symbol. This is because the drum unit 2 is stopped and controlled so as to be pulled onto the line.

FIG. 34 is a game state transition diagram (effect state) and a normal mode number calculation table. FIG. 35 is an explanatory diagram of a game state (game mode number) managed by the main control unit. FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram of zone processing in various modes.

The main control unit 100 controls the ball ejection performance, determines all the game states (game mode numbers) shown in FIG. 35, and manages information on which game state is currently in (mode number). The game status information) is notified to the sub-control unit 160. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 controls the effect, and only executes various effects based on the game state information received from the main control unit 100, and is irrelevant to the ball ejection performance.

The main control unit 100 manages the game state in 16 states of mode number 0 to mode number 15, mode number 0 is a normal state, mode number 1 is a CZ precursor state, mode number 2 is a CZ state, and mode number 3 Is the normal fighting party standby state, mode number 4 is the normal fighting party (during the actual game) state, mode number 5 is the normal fighting party (after the actual game) state, mode number 6 is the ART state, and mode number 7 is the ART judge. Game state, mode number 8 is a heart-added specialized state, mode number 9 is a curse OPT state, mode number 10 is an ART fighting party standby state, mode number 11 is an ART fighting party (in real life) state, mode 12 number is At ART, the fighting party (after the actual game) state, the mode number 13 is the OPT state after the fighting party, the mode number 14 is the premier bonus state, and the mode number 15 is the ending state. In addition, OPT is a registered trademark of the applicant and is uttered as OP, which means buttocks, penpen, and time.

In the normal state of mode number 0, the degree of expectation of acquiring CZ winning points changes depending on the number of games managed. The CZ precursor state of mode number 1 is a CZ latent state, and shifts to the CZ state of mode number 2 after a predetermined game determined by lottery. In the CZ state, when the game in the chance zone of 20G is executed and the winning conditions are cleared by the acquired points, the ART is won. The normal fighting party standby state of mode number 3 usually shifts to the case where the actual bonus is won in the CZ precursor, during CZ, and in the normal fighting party (after the actual bonus).

The normal time fighting party (in the actual battle) state of mode number 4 is a battle game state in which the main character's HP (hit points) and the opponent's HP are scraped off. The HP of the main character decreases during the actual game, but it never becomes 0. By setting the other party's HP to 0, you will win the ART, and you will be in the process of preparing for the ART. If you win before the end of the real bo, a heart stock lottery will be held to acquire hearts (game benefits) until the end of the real bo. The normal time fighting party (after the actual bo) state of mode number 5 is a section when the actual bo is finished and no conclusion has been reached. If the hero loses, he will definitely lose in this game section. By setting the opponent's HP to 0, you will win the ART and move to the preparation for ART.

The ART state of mode number 6 is an ART game called Shinkon Seikatsu, and the number of games is managed. When the remaining game becomes 0, the game shifts to the ART judge game state of mode number 7. In ART games, it is a game of acquiring a heart, which is a privilege in the game. In the ART judge game state, the game is played for the number of hearts, the winning lottery is executed each time, and when the winning (continuation condition is satisfied), the continuation is successful and the game returns to ART. When the heart is used up and becomes 0, it returns to normal.

The heart-adding specialized state of mode number 8 is a game in which a heart is added by shifting from the replay series during ART. A minimum of 2G is guaranteed, after which it will continue if the continuation conditions are met in the continuation lottery (average 5G). The curse OPT state of mode number 9 earns points when a rare role is established and nothing is won, and shifts when a certain number of points are earned. Execute the prince's curse OPT (OPT for sister characters) and add the number of games. It is fixed at 1G. The ART fighting party standby state of mode number 10 is a gaming state that shifts when the actual bonus is won after the ART is being prepared.

The ART-time fighting party (in the actual game) state of mode number 11 is a battle game state in which the main character's HP and the opponent's HP are scraped off. The HP of the main character decreases during the actual game, but it never becomes 0. By setting the other party's HP to 0, the OPT is confirmed. When the actual game is finished, the game shifts to the OPT game. If you win before the end of the real bo, damage points will be accumulated and added until the end of the real bo. The ART time fighting party (after the actual bo) state of the mode 12 number is a game section when the actual bo is finished but the conclusion is not reached. If the hero loses, he will definitely lose in this game section. By setting the opponent's HP to 0, the game shifts to the OPT game.

In the OPT state after the fighting party of mode number 13, the fighting party is won, and the OPT is performed against the defeated opponent character to add the number of games. It is fixed at 1G. The premier bonus state of mode number 14 is a premier game that rushes into a part of the fighting party, and the premier flag is set. Perform OPT for 4 people against characters 1 to 4. The premiere of the middle cherry will be confirmed. Mode number 15 is an ending state that shifts when the boss character character 5 is defeated.

When the stage set value is reset, the main control unit 100 executes the setting change process, clears and sets various data according to the set value, and sets the initial state, so that the player can start the normal game. .. In this setting change process, first, a lottery for starting points of the number of games at the time of setting change is executed, and a lottery for the position (number of games) of the number of elapsed games in the table that manages the CZ expected value is performed. The normal mode No. is determined for each game number range, and the "through No." is determined by lottery. For example, if 8 is selected as the through No. 8 in the lottery, the main control unit 100 selects the data "256" immediately before the end point game "288" corresponding to the through No. 8 as the number of elapsed games. This number of elapsed games is also called the number of digestion games, and corresponds to the distance to the ceiling game, so it is advantageous for the player to select a large value. Assuming that the ceiling game is 777 games and the number of elapsed games is 256 games, the ceiling is reached with the remaining 521 games (777 games-256 games) (ceiling reaching state).

The number of elapsed games is 1 when the lever is effectively operated in the normal state and during the CZ precursor in the non-bonus internal state, while 0 is cleared when the game shifts to ART. However, 1 is added in the game in which the bonus is won. The main control unit 100 subtracts the number of games from the current number of elapsed games in order from No0, and sets the value of the normal No corresponding to the through No to a value of 0 or less as the mode No. For example, if the number of elapsed games is 112, the number of games corresponding to No. 0 is subtracted from 32 games to obtain 80 games. Since the value is not 0 or less, the main control unit 100 subtracts 32 games, which is the number of games corresponding to No. 1 through 80 games, to obtain 48 games. Since the value is not 0 or less, the main control unit 100 obtains 16 games by subtracting 32 games, which is the number of games corresponding to No. 2 through 48 games. Since the value is not 0 or less, the main control unit 100 subtracts 32 games, which is the number of games corresponding to No. 3 through 16 games, to obtain -16 games. Since the value is 0 or less, the main control unit 100 sets "3" of the normal mode No. corresponding to the through No. 3 as the mode value. There are four types of normal mode Nos, 0 to 3, but the larger the value, the easier it is to accumulate points for shifting to the CZ (chance zone), and when the value reaches 100 points, the transition to the CZ is confirmed.

Next, the main control unit 100 executes a "curse PT lottery" and a "normal point lottery" for winning the CZ when the setting is changed. For example, the main control unit 100 sets a “curse point” as a value obtained by adding a predetermined value “2” to a numerical value drawn in the range of 0 to 7. Further, the main control unit 100 sets the value obtained by adding the predetermined value "36" to the numerical value drawn from 0 to 63 as the "normal point". As a result, the normal points are 36 to 99 points. As the above-mentioned processing of the ceiling game, when the ART interval is 777G (the number of elapsed games), the ceiling is reached, but the CZ clear and the fighting party clear are confirmed. In other words, when the player reaches the ceiling, the transition condition is satisfied, and the game shifts to the CZ game, the game is cleared and the player wins. Also, when you reach the ceiling, the transition conditions are met, and when you transition to the fighting party, you will be cleared and you will win. In the case of CZ, the result of the CZ clear point lottery after 777G is set to 0, and in the case of the fighting party, the HP of the enemy is set to 0 when the bonus is won after 777G. Therefore, it will definitely be a success in the CZ judge game after 777G.

The RT2 state described with reference to FIG. 33 is used as a "tsundere zone" when it shifts to normal. When shifting to another RT state from here, the "Tsundere zone" ends (see FIG. 36). If the game shifts to the RT3 state during normal times and the reverse push Cinderella replay is won during the RT3 state, the "Cinderella zone" is set and the winning rare role (replay) and push order bell are completely navigated for 10 games. There is a zone state flag, which means that 1 is the "Tsundere zone" and 2 is the "Cinderella zone". Replay A (RT2 transition lip) is not an alternative, and Replay A wins regardless of the order of pressing. Replay B (RT3 transition lip) is a 6-choice correct answer and transitions to RT3. Maintain RT with incorrect answers. Replay C (RT1 transition lip) is a 3-choice correct answer and maintains RT. Move to RT1 with an incorrect answer.
RT1 and ART preparation flag is 1, processing when lip A is pulled, processing whether to put in tsundere state when pulling lip B1 at RT3, setting to Cinderella zone when pulling Cinderella lip The processing, the conversion processing of the reverse push cherry, and the processing of whether or not to subtract the zone remaining game are as shown in FIG.

"Normal time, CZ precursor lottery": Normal point lottery is executed. At normal times, the normal point reference table No. can be calculated from the fixed value table, and the normal point lottery for CZ winning is performed using this. The points to be acquired are obtained by multiplying this table by the value that can be calculated in the fixed value table. If the normal points exceed 100, -100 is added to the normal points and 1 is added to the CZ stock counter. CZ is won and the next game shifts to "CZ precursor".

Lottery for the number of latent games at the time of winning CZ: The number of games to be played (CZ precursor) when shifting to CZ winning (CZ precursor) at normal times is drawn. On the contrary, even if the CZ stock counter is 1 or more when returning to the normal state, the number of games is drawn. The number of CZ precursor games is subtracted by 1 with 1G when the sub state is CZ precursor and non-internal. Move to (CZ) in the next game that becomes 0G.

Clear point lottery at the time of CZ winning: When the number of hidden games at the time of CZ winning is drawn, the CZ clear point is drawn. In the point acquisition lottery during CZ, points during CZ are cumulatively added, and when CZ clear points are reached, CZ becomes successful and the process shifts to ART. If the number of elapsed games in the normal time is 777 games, the clear point is set to 0.

CZ middle lottery: A chance zone for accumulating and judging 20G fixed points for a predetermined number of games. You can select 4 types of production (character). In the middle of CZ, you may rush into a ball. In that case, add to the damage dealt based on the CZ middle points and clear points accumulated so far. Damage dealt = Enemy HP- (Clear point-Point in CZ) is calculated. If you lose in the fighting party, you will not return to CZ but will return to normal time, but if you have CZ stock, you will shift to CZ precursor. When CZ starts, 20 is set for the number of remaining CZ games, and the CZ stock counter is also subtracted by 1. The number of remaining CZ games is subtracted by 1 when the game is non-internal and not internal. After the next game of the game in which the CZ middle points reach the CZ clear points, the heart stock lottery described later will be performed. If the clear point is reached when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0, the game shifts from the next game to ART. If the clear point has not been reached, the process shifts to CZ precursors during normal times or if there is CZ stock.

CZ middle point lottery: Points are drawn and the value multiplied by the value that can be calculated in the fixed value table is added to the CZ middle points. At the final game of CZ, if the points in CZ are equal to or higher than the CZ clear points, the ART is won and the game shifts to ART. If the push order bell is won, if there is no payout, a point lottery will be drawn as a loss. On the other hand, if there is a payout, points will be drawn as a winning combination group for the bell. However, when navigating the push order bell, it is treated as a winning combination group for the bell regardless of the payout. The final game of CZ is judged at the time of the lever, and the push order bell is won, and it is treated as a winning combination group for the bell.
Processing inside the bonus: (normal time), (CZ precursor), (CZ), (when the actual bonus is inside at the time of the normal ball (after the actual ball), the process shifts to the normal fighting party standby. , ART ~ Judge, If you are inside the actual bonus at the time of the ART ball (actual ball), you will shift to the ART ball standby.

Processing of waiting for a normal fighting party: The lottery related to the payout is not executed in the section (inside the inside) until the bonuses that shift to the normal time are prepared. If the bonuses are complete, the destination will be the regular fighting party or the premier BB.

ART fighting party waiting process: The lottery related to paying out is not executed in the section (inside the inside) until the bonuses to be transferred at the time of ART are prepared. As a special process, if you win a bonus and win with that G during the regular fighting party (after the actual battle), you will get 100 damage by winning the bonus. It shifts to the normal fighting party standby, and the introduction movie of the character is played at the start of the actual game without changing the character. When the fighting party (actual bo) is over, it will shift to ART. Initially it is 40G, and while digesting the real bo, a heart stock lottery will be held.

ART processing: It is called Shintama Seikatsu, and it is a game in which a female character lives together with a prince character and accumulates hearts. When there are no more games left, the game shifts to the judge game. If the role of Rare is won, a lottery for adding heart stock will be executed, and a lottery for transition to the heart stock special zone will also be performed in the Lip Ren (replay continuous). In addition, a lottery of OPT for adding the number of games called curse OPT will be held. Only at the start of ART from normal (so-called first hit), the process of adding one heart is performed.

Heart type lottery: A type lottery is performed when entering the ART for the first time, when acquiring a heart during ART, or when acquiring a heart when specializing in adding hearts. Only the first one is memorized as a type, and after that, only the number is managed. The maximum number is 255 + 1. The type also draws lots when it fails during the judge game and consumes stock. After the number of ART games becomes 0, this "heart" shifts to the judge game and performs 1G continuous judgment for each heart it has. There are different types of hearts, and six types of continuation rates are fixed for each character. A continuous lottery is performed based on the continuation rate set for the heart to be used, and if the continuation is won, an additional lottery is performed and the player returns to ART. If you succeed (if you win the continuation), you can use the heart you are using again next time without consuming it. In other words, in theory, with one heart, it is possible to return to ART forever. If the continuous lottery fails, the heart is subtracted by 1, and when it becomes 0, the ART ends and the process shifts to normal. If the heart still exists even if the continuous lottery fails (if it is 1 or more), the next game will be the judge game again. Since the continuation rate is added according to the winning combination in the judge game, the continuation rate may exceed 100% depending on the winning combination. In that case, success is confirmed. In addition, when the judge succeeds, the carry-over continuation rate addition lottery is performed according to the winning combination, so the more successful the judge, the higher the continuation rate. However, the maximum value of the heart continuation rate + carry-over continuation rate is 70%. On the other hand, if the judge game fails, this carry-over continuation rate is cleared and becomes 0.

Heart stock addition lottery: During ART, a heart stock addition lottery is performed according to the winning combination group. If one or more heart stocks are won and the heart type is not set, a heart type lottery is performed to set it. On the other hand, if the heart type is set, the lottery value is added to the heart stock. The lottery opportunity for Heartstock is the premiere from the next game where the enemy HP is set to 0 at the fighting party (during the actual game) to the end of the actual game during ART, until the next game that exceeds the clear points during the CZ to the end of the CZ. There are four game states in the bonus.

Curse point addition lottery: If the heart stock addition lottery is not won and the fighting party (Type 1 BB) is also not won, the lottery is executed. A lottery will be held for points to be added to the curse points, but the rarer the winning combination, the higher the points to be added. The lottery is executed even when the bonus is won, but 0 points are always selected in order to prevent the bonus from being won and the curse points not being earned. When the setting is changed, the curse point starts from the value obtained by adding +2 to the value drawn from 0 to 7, and when it reaches 10 Pt, 10 pt is subtracted to win the curse OPT, and the game shifts to the curse OPT from the next game. The curse OPT itself ends in 1G. At the end of ART, the curse points are carried over without being cleared.

Replay consecutive heart addition special zone winning lottery: Every time 5 or more consecutive replays (up to 8 consecutive) are won, a lottery will be held to determine whether or not to move to the heart addition special zone. If you win this lottery, you will clear 0 replays and move to the heart-specialized zone from the next game. The special zone continues for 2G or more (continuous lottery). Lip Ren is not cleared in the role of Rare. However, when the current sub state (directing state) is changed to another sub state, the Lip Ren is cleared. If you win Replay B1, you will be in a 100% tsundere state during non-zone and at RT3.

Cinderella zone lottery during ART: If you are not in the Tsundere zone or Cinderella zone during ART and you win the reverse push Cinderella replay (including tempai and loss), this lottery will be performed. If you win, you will get a reverse push navigation, but if you have all the Cinderellas, you will be in the Cinderella zone (fixed 10G) from the next game. Reverse push cherry type lip (weak / medium / strong) The probability of reverse push navigation at the time of winning is higher than the tsundere zone (100% fixed by logic). When the reverse push cherry type replay is won, (1) normal time → no reverse push, (2) tsundere → 25% navigation, (3) Cinderella → 100% navigation.

As a process when shifting to ART, if there are few remaining ART games, add a heart, or after shifting to the ART fighting party (actual bo), return to ART, if the remaining ART games are less than 5G, the remaining ART Overwrite the game with 5G. For the remaining ART games, 1 is subtracted when ART is in progress and non-internal is in progress (BB winning game is subtracted). When transitioning to ART, "5G" is set as the opening game, and during the opening, if the curse points are added and it becomes 9 or more, it is overwritten with 9. As a process for not transitioning to the curse OPT, the number of ART remaining games is subtracted.

In the lottery during the ART judge game, a continuous lottery is performed using hearts, and one game can be executed for each heart. If the continuation is successful, the heart remains, which is advantageous to the player. If the continuation fails, one heart is consumed, and if there are no more hearts, the ART ends. The heart when it is inside the bonus will be confirmed continuously. A fixed retention rate is set for each type of heart. A continuous lottery will be held based on the total continuation rate of the winning combination and the carry-over continuation rate (fixed continuation rate + role continuation rate + carry-over continuation rate). Is added to the carry-over continuation rate, and the carry-over is carried over to the next time. The upper limit of carry-over is 70% at the maximum, and if it exceeds 70%, it is rewritten to 70%, and the continuation rate of the winning combination in the G is added to perform a continuous lottery.

Judge continuation rate addition lottery: When the judge game is successful, the value to be added to the "carry-over continuation rate" is determined by lottery according to the winning combination. Since the "carry-over continuation rate" will be carried over to the next judge, the total continuation rate will be the sum of the results of the "carry-over continuation rate", "heart continuation rate", and "fixed continuation rate of the next winner". Perform a rate lottery.

Lottery for the number of additional games by heart: When the judge by the heart succeeds, the lottery for the number of additional games is executed according to the type of heart.

Judge Game Mid-Ceiling: Has a Judge Failure Counter, which is initially 0. Adds each time a judge fails, and when the number reaches 10, (the next judge who fails a total of 9 times will always succeed), the process of rewriting the judge to success is executed. During ART, the counter will not be cleared even if the judge succeeds. However, if it succeeds due to the ceiling, it will be cleared to 0. When returning to normal, 0 clear processing is executed.

Lottery in the special zone for adding hearts: This is a zone where you can always get the hearts used in the judge game, and basically it will continue for several games. With a minimum of 2G guarantee, a continuous lottery will be held after that. However, if the bonus is won, it will be forcibly terminated and 10 hearts will be acquired as a privilege.

In the heart-added number lottery, the heart-added number lottery is executed according to the winning combination. In the heart-added specialization continuation lottery, if there is no internal or bonus prize, a lottery is executed as to whether or not to continue the heart-addition specialization zone. If you win the lottery, the special zone for adding hearts will continue. As a process when the bonus is won, a process of doubling (predetermined times) the heart stock acquired in the special zone for adding hearts is executed in order to compensate for the amount that is not drawn by adding hearts. In addition, after adding at least 10 pieces, the heart specialization will end and the game will shift to the ART fighting party standby.

As a lottery during curse OPT, character lottery at the time of curse OPT: A character who performs OPT is drawn from allies.

Continuation rate lottery for each OPT table No .: For each character, a lottery for the continuation rate used in OPT is performed for each OPT table No. determined according to the small winning combination. There are about 10 types of table numbers.

Number of games lottery with OPT1 pen: The main control unit 100 transmits the number of additional games for each operation of the operation button (1 pen) to the sub control unit 160. Similarly, when the armor breaks (two breaks and the final negative shot), the main control unit 100 transmits the number of additional games to the sub control unit 160.

Number of additional games at the time of armor break Lottery: Every time the number of endurance of armor (fixed value table) becomes 0 for each character, a lottery for the number of additional games is executed. The armor is fixed for each character in two stages. As the third stage, the durability value for the final negative shot and the number of additional games will be drawn separately.

Armor endurance value lottery for final negative shots: Determined by lottery to determine the endurance value of the third stage of armor. If you use the pen for the number of times of this endurance value, the final negative shot will be successful and the number of additional games will be drawn. This value is displayed with a large addition at the end of OPT.

Lottery during OPT after the fighting party: Basically, the same table as the curse OPT is used to draw the number of additional games. Execute OPT using the enemy character No. that was fighting. The migration destination after the end of OPT will change depending on the RT status. If it is RT0 to RT2, it shifts to ART preparation, while if it is RT3, it shifts to ART.

At the fighting party, the shaving battle production of the friendly HP and the enemy HP is displayed, and the lottery is executed during the fighting party. During the actual bonus (about 21G), it will be in the state after returning to the initial stage. If the victory or defeat is not decided at the end of the actual bonus, the fighting party will continue even after returning to the non-internal state. The sub-states are divided into the martial arts association (in the real world) and the martial arts association (non-internal). Furthermore, since the roles are different between normal time and ART, the sub-states are separated. In normal times, if you play against an enemy character and defeat the enemy, ART will be confirmed. During ART, if you play against an enemy character and defeat the enemy, the OPT will be confirmed. Your HP is fixed at 100, and your enemy HP is also fixed at 100. On the other hand, if it is in a free state, it is changed to 50 to 80 for each character. As a process during the actual bonus, your HP is reduced to only 1, so you will not lose during the actual bonus.

Enemy character lottery at the start of the fighting party: During normal times or during ART, the characters to be played are decided by lottery according to the number of battles. If this lottery is performed during 5 battles, the number of battles will be set to 1, while if the enemy boss is defeated, the number of battles will remain 1.

HP subtraction lottery at the start of the normal fighting party: If you win during CZ, the lottery will be executed to reduce the points to be reduced from the character HP based on the CZ earned points. The table is changed according to the difference between the clear points and the earned points. Normally, this lottery is not executed.

Damage dealt lottery: A lottery of damage to the enemy is performed by number (fixed value table) according to the winning combination group and the enemy character. Since the magnification is assigned to each number, the value multiplied by the magnification is the damage dealt. I have two magnifications, one for the regular fighting party and one for the ART fighting party. During the actual game, (1) Bell (attacker), (2) Beberi (control change bell), (3) Replay, (4) Reverse push Seven are aligned, (5) Reverse push Seven is not aligned, (6) Weak There are medium-strong cherry replays and (7) reverse push weak medium-strong cherry replays. During the actual bo, if the damage dealt is 0 in Beberi, the damage received lottery will be performed. After the end of the actual game, if the damage dealt is 0 at the time of loss, a lottery for damage will be performed.

Damaged lottery: If the damage is beveled or not inside, it is lost, and when the damage dealt is 0, a lottery for the damage to be given is performed for each enemy character. As the main lottery condition, the damage dealt is 0, and the lottery of the damage that oneself receives when it is not a replay or a bell is performed. However, the damage lottery will not be held in the 1st G of the fighting party.

Seven-Eleven treatment lottery for each remaining HP: If you have not defeated your opponent, you will be drawn to decide whether or not to treat your opponent as Seven when you draw a reverse-push Seven-Eleven lip according to your HP. If you win, the type of winning combination such as the damage lottery will be changed and the damage dealt will be 100, so the victory will be confirmed.

Invincible lottery at the time of entering the fighting party: When entering the fighting party, an invincible lottery is performed according to the enemy character, and if this is won, the HP will not become 0 at the fighting party (after the actual bo), so the victory will be confirmed.

HP recovery lottery by rip at the time of the fighting party: A lottery will be held to see if you will recover HP during the replay during the fighting party. If you win, the HP for the lottery value will be added. As a process when the ART fighting party is defeated, when you lose to the ART fighting party (after the actual game) and return to the next game ART, 1 is added to the curse points, so from the game after the opening to the curse OPT Transition.

Premier lottery: If a freeze occurs at the start of the bonus, it will be a premier bonus, and the OPT of 4 people will be confirmed, and the expected number of winnings will be 3000. In the case of a lottery when the bonus is won and the middle cherry + BB, the premier lottery will be executed at the start of the fighting party. At the start of the fighting party, a lottery will be drawn as to whether or not to shift to the premier state, and if won, the sub state will shift to the premier fighting party. At the premier ball, four people OPT, and out of the 17 bell payouts, at the time of the last four bells, characters 1 to 4 are set with fixed value data specified according to the winning combination. The OPT process is executed with the lottery value. For the middle cherry, when you win, the bonus will be confirmed and the premier fighting party will be confirmed at the same time. Since the premier fighting party will be elected even during ART, the expected number of sheets by the premiere will be 3000.

When the boss character (fifth character) is defeated in the ART fighting party, the ending state is entered. The ending state is fixed at 5G, and if a bonus is drawn in the middle, it will end at that point. After the end, it shifts to ART.

FIG. 37 is a special addition screen (see FIG. 37 (A)) and a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the special addition lottery (see FIG. 37 (B)). Further, FIG. 38 is a schematic view of a special addition screen (screen of the addition game 2). The special addition means OPT.

When an additional game (any OPT) is selected in this additional game, the main control unit 100 has a puncture rate (or a loop rate, which is a continuation decision probability, or a continuation rate), which is an end determination probability. And the additional loop lottery process for determining the additional value is executed using the additional lottery table. The puncture rate and the continuation rate are in a contradictory relationship, and the puncture rate is 5% (decided to end once in 20 times) and the continuation rate is 95% (decided to continue 19 times in 20 times). Is actually synonymous.

If you defeat an enemy character during an ART game, which is an advantageous game, or if you get a certain number of points (for example, get 1000 points), the additional condition (addition) will be triggered when any one of them is achieved. The start condition of game 2) is satisfied. In addition, it is established when the ART lottery during BB is won, or when a mission such as winning a bell three times in a predetermined game during ART is achieved.

The main control unit 100 calls this subroutine when the special addition condition (additional game 2) is satisfied in the ART game (advantageous game) and the special addition lottery process is executed (see FIG. 37 (B)). .. When the main control unit 100 shifts to step S200, the main control unit 100 selects one character to be used for this special addition lottery by lottery from a plurality of enemy characters. Then, when the main control unit 100 shifts to step S200, the addition form lottery is executed to determine the normal addition or the special addition. There are two types of special additions, special addition 1 to special addition 3, special addition 1 (speed addition) is to extract two random numbers and execute the number of additional games lottery twice, and special addition 2 (power addition) is. One random number is extracted to double the number of additional games, and the special addition 3 (technique addition) reduces the character's HP (hit points) by four times as much as the normal addition. In this case, the leftmost character A is selected from the six characters, and the addition is usually determined by lottery. The addition form is designed to be recognized by the player depending on the type of stick (commonly referred to as "pen pen stick") possessed by the character A. In other words, in the case of normal addition, the normal stick shown in the figure is displayed, but in special addition 1, the speed stick is displayed, in special addition 2, the power stick is displayed, and in special addition 3, the technique stick is displayed. Is displayed.

A guaranteed game number lottery table is provided according to the selected character A and the defeated enemy boss (enemy character). Further, in this guaranteed game number lottery table, the expected value fluctuates according to the stage setting value. For example, six guaranteed game number lottery tables are provided corresponding to the combination of character A and the enemy boss, but when the stage setting value is 6, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 16 times, the stage setting value. When is 5, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 14 times, when the stage setting value is 4, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 12 times, and when the stage setting value is 3, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 9 times, if the stage setting value is 2, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 7 times, and if the stage setting value is 1, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 5 times. It is decided in advance. Then, the main control unit 100 automatically determines the number of guaranteed games by lottery using these guaranteed game number lottery tables in step S210, and proceeds to step S220.

The main control unit 100 executes a combination lottery in the start operation in this game, and when the process proceeds to step S220, the main control unit 100 executes an additional loop rate lottery according to the winning combination. The additional loop rate is the probability of winning. For example, assuming 90%, the probability of winning is 90% and the probability of losing is 10%. There are two types of additional loop rate lottery tables, one is selected when a rare role is won, and the other is selected for a non-rare role. As a matter of course, the expected value of the additional loop rate lottery table selected when the rare role is won is about 2 to 3 times higher than that of the table other than the rare role. Further, as described above, the expected value fluctuates according to the step setting value.

When the main control unit 100 shifts to step S230, the main control unit 100 extracts one random number using the determined additional game number lottery table, and executes the additional lottery once in the normal addition. In special addition 1 (speed addition), two random numbers are extracted (at least two or more random numbers are extracted), and the number of additional games lottery is executed twice to determine the two additional values. Special addition 2 (power addition) extracts one random number and doubles the number of additional games lottery result (extracts one random number and multiplies the value determined by an integer to determine the additional value, or the value To determine a predetermined value by multiplying by a predetermined value) to determine one additional value. Then, in the special addition 3 (technique addition), one random number is extracted and the addition lottery is executed once in the same manner as the normal addition. In addition, a predetermined 1 point (predetermined point) is subtracted from the HP of the character for each additional game number lottery, but only the special additional 3 (technique addition) is multiplied by 4 times the predetermined 1 point (predetermined point). 4 points are subtracted from HP. Each character has three HPs, which are first subtracted from HP1 and become 0. When the first additional lottery condition is satisfied, the first special additional lottery is executed and the first special additional value is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. .. Further, the main control unit 100 subtracts from HP2 for each additional game number lottery, and when it becomes 0 and the second additional lottery condition is satisfied, the second special additional lottery is executed and the second special additional value is calculated. It is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. Then, the main control unit 100 subtracts from HP3 for each additional game number lottery, and when it becomes 0 and the third additional lottery condition is satisfied, the third special additional lottery is executed and the third special additional value is calculated. It is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. The expected value of the first special additional value is about 50 games, the expected value of the second special additional value is about 100 games, and the expected value of the third special additional value is about 300 games. Since HP is subtracted by 4 times, special addition is likely to occur, and depending on the selected character, the first addition lottery condition is satisfied within the guaranteed number of games with high probability. The sub-control unit 160 individually stores the received first special additional value to the third special additional value, and when these special additional values are received, it is possible to execute an effect related to the special additional value. For example, the sub-control unit 160 executes an effect of gradually destroying the character's armor according to the first special addition value to the third special addition value.

When the process proceeds to step S235, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the upper limit value N (allowable number of transmissions) has been exceeded. For example, assuming that the upper limit value N is 100 times, the main control unit 100 transmits an additional value to the sub control unit 160 up to 100 times in step S240, and adds the additional value to the total number of remaining games (total remaining value). Although it is added, after 101 times, it is only added to the total number of remaining games, and the additional value is not transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 individually (separately) stores the additional values received from the main control unit 100 in the order in which they are received. This has a peculiar effect that the storage capacity of the sub-control unit 160 can be reduced. In addition, the remaining total number value is the remaining number of winnings of the push order small winning combination related to the ART game, the remaining number of payouts, and the like. However, the main control unit 100 always transmits the first special additional value to the third special additional value regardless of the upper limit value N.

When the main control unit 100 shifts to step S250, it determines whether or not there is a guaranteed number of games, and if it is not 0 (if it is 1 or more), it shifts to step S280 and subtracts 1 from the guaranteed number of games. Return to step S230. In other words, it can be said that step S250 determines whether or not the guaranteed number of games has been exhausted. If it has not been digested, 1 is subtracted to return to step S230, and if it has been digested, the process proceeds to step S260. That is.

When the guaranteed number of games becomes 0 times in step S250 and the process proceeds to step S260, the main control unit 100 draws a lottery for the number of additional games to be continued according to the determined additional loop rate (in this case, the winning rate is 90%). For example, if the count value is extracted at random timing using an 8-bit counter that fluctuates in the range of 0 to 255 and the range of 0 to 229 is hit, the winning rate is about 90%, and the winning rate is set in step S270. If this is the case (when the continuation condition is satisfied), the process returns to step S230 and the additional loop lottery is automatically executed by itself. When the main control unit 100 ends in step S270 (when the end condition is satisfied), the main control unit 100 transmits the calculated remaining total number of games (remaining total number value) to the sub control unit 160, and performs an additional loop lottery process. End the subroutine. The main control unit 100 controls the continuation and termination of the ART game and the transition to the judgment game based on the remaining total value. That is, the main control unit 100 can execute the additional loop lottery process of repeating the additional lottery in order to determine the additional value of the advantageous game, and the lottery for determining whether or not to end the additional loop lottery process. Is a control means that can be repeatedly executed.

The sub-control unit 160 individually (separately) stores the additional values received from the main control unit 100 in the order of reception, and the number of additional games is the first, the second, the third, the first, and the fourth. It shows that the 5th and 5th times were 1st, the 6th time was 1 and the 7th time was 50, the 8th time was 1 and the 9th time was 1 and the total was 64 times (see FIG. 38 (A)). Although the main control unit 100 executes this series of additional lottery processing, it is processed in a short time (about 10 ms) from the execution of the winning combination lottery by the start operation to the activation of the operation of the stop button unit 10. Will be done.

When the main control unit 100 receives the operation of any of the stop switches while all three reel drums are rotating, the main control unit 100 does not normally perform the delay processing (freeze processing) of the game when the additional lottery is executed. , The delay processing is performed on the condition that the special addition lottery 1 to 3 is executed. In the case of a normal additional lottery, the main control unit 100 sets a timer with a minimum operation interval of 210 ms when the first stop operation is received, and accepts the second stop operation with the lapse of 210 ms from the operation as the minimum condition. On the other hand, in the case of the special additional lottery, the main control unit 100 executes the delay process when the first stop operation is accepted, and stops the progress of the main game until a predetermined time (about 5 seconds) elapses. To do. As a result, the player cannot perform the second stop operation until a predetermined time has elapsed from the first stop operation. When the sub-control unit 160 receives a freeze command for a predetermined time (about 5 seconds) from the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 displays a special effect indicating that a special additional lottery has been performed during the delay process on the display effect device 11. In addition to the discomfort of not being able to perform the next operation, the player has a great sense of expectation regarding the additional game due to the special effect.

The sub-control unit 160 is an effect control means for controlling the additional effect related to the additional value, and is a condition for starting the additional effect after the game in which the special additional condition (addition game 2) is satisfied (after the third stop operation). Is established, and the operation of the special button 14 (operation switch) is enabled. At the time of this activation, the sub-control unit 160 blinks the internal LED of the special button 14 and displays "special button repeated hits" on the liquid crystal screen. That is, the sub-control unit 160 can operate the special button 14 when it receives a notification from the main control unit 100 that the game has ended (a notification that the drum units are all stopped, a notification that the bet button is valid, etc.). Then, "hit the special button" or "repeatedly hit the special button" is displayed on the display effect device 11. In addition, the number of remaining games, which is the current number of remaining games plus an additional value for each special button operation, is also displayed (not shown).

FIG. 38 (B) shows that the number of additional games is 20 at the 10th time, 100 at the 11th time, 10 at the 12th time, 1 at the 13th time, 3 at the 14th time, 1 at the 15th time, 5 at the 16th time, and 1 at the 17th time. , After 1 is won in the 18th time, the total number of remaining games (total number of remaining games) received last is memorized, the end condition of the additional loop lottery process is satisfied, and the total of 206 times from the 1st to the 18th is acquired. It shows that it was done. The sub-control unit 160 stores the special button 14 in the RAM in the order in which it is received each time the player operates the special button 14 once when the start condition of the additional effect is satisfied and the special button 14 is in an operable state (enabled state). The number of additional games to be added is displayed in order from the first to the last, and the 19th operation is performed to display the total number of additional games and the total number of remaining games. The sub-control unit 160 displays the total number of additional games even when the additional effect is canceled by the start operation (effect cancel operation) after the MAX bet operation, and the first stop operation of the next game. The total number of additional games will continue to be displayed until is performed. The total number of remaining games may also be displayed. The sub-control unit 160 obtains and displays the total number of additional games by subtracting the number of remaining games before the additional game from the total number of remaining games received (total number of remaining games). As a result, the sub-control unit 160 reproduces the additional lottery actually performed by the main control unit 100 on behalf of the player, so that the player feels a great impression and forms a sense of unity between the player and the game machine. can do.

FIG. 39 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the 8-bit pseudo-random number and the number. FIG. 40 is a detailed explanatory view of the winning combination lottery table.

The normal state of mode number 0 is managed by four types of normal modes No. 0 to 3, and if you draw a rare role when this state is large, you will win ART (assist replay time) or CZ (chance zone). The probability of doing it increases. The points are determined by a random number lottery from the values 0 to 99.

When using 8-bit pseudo-random numbers, the probability could only be set in 0.39% (1/256) increments in the past, but it became necessary to set the winning probability in more detail, so technically devise it. Elaborate (eg 0.006%). The main control unit 100 acquires one of the 8-bit pseudo-random numbers from 0 to 255 periodically generated by the random number generation circuit at a predetermined timing (see FIG. 39 (A)). As for this 8-bit pseudo-random number, a value of 0 to 255 always appears once in one cycle. The 7th bit (MSB) of the 8-bit pseudo-random number is the instruction bit, and if this value is 0, it is an execution instruction for multiplication, but if it is 1, it is not an execution instruction for multiplication (that is, a non-execution instruction for multiplication). ). Further, the content to be instructed may be the opposite of 0 and 1 (0: execution non-instruction, 1: execution instruction). The other seven bits (0th to 6th bits) of the 8-bit pseudo-random number can indicate any numerical value from 0 to 127.

FIG. 39 (B) indicates that the instruction bit (MSB) is 0 and is multiplied by a predetermined number. A 7-bit numerical value multiplied by 128 is a set number, and the probability is 0 each time the numerical value increases by 1. It shows an increase of .781%. This resolution is twice as rough as 1/256.

FIG. 39 (C) indicates that the indicator bit (MSB) is 1 and does not multiply by a predetermined number. A 7-bit numerical value becomes a place number, and the probability increases by 0.006% for each increment of the numerical value. Indicates to do. This resolution is 64 times as fine as 1/256.

FIG. 39 (D) is a lottery table that determines the relationship between a plurality of winning information (values of prize points 0 to 99) and the number of prizes, and is stored in the ROM 101. It is designed so that 10 points to 30 points of prize money will be won with an 80% probability, centering on 20 points of prize money. When the prize money of 20 points is won with a probability of 30%, the MSB is 0, the 7-bit numerical value is 38, and the true probability is 29.688% (38 × 128 ÷ 16384). When winning 15 points of prize money and 25 points of prize money with a probability of 20%, the MSB is 0, the 7-bit numerical value is 26, and the true probability is 20.031% (26 × 128 ÷ 16384). When the prize 0 points are won with a probability of 0.5%, the MSB is 1 and the 7-bit numerical value is 82, and the true probability is 0.500% (82/16384). If 90 points of prize money are won with a probability of 0.02%, the MSB is 1, the 7-bit numerical value is 4, and the true probability is 0.024% (4/16384). And if you want to win 99 points of prize with a 0.01% probability, the MSB should be 1 and the 7-bit number should be 2, but since 0 to 90 points have not been won, be sure to win at the end. Since the points are won, the MSB, which means 100%, is 1, and the 7-bit numerical value is 0 (number 1 Bite data: 10000000). As a process on the program, first, it is confirmed whether the number is 128, and if it is 128, the winning process is performed, while if it is not 128, the number is accumulated and subtracted from the random number. In particular, the probability of 50% is 0 for the MSB, and the 7-bit numerical value is 64 (number 1 Bite data: 01000000). On the contrary, if the acquired one 8-bit pseudo-random number is 64 (1Byte data: 01000000), the random numbers are accumulated and subtracted in order from 0 points, and the random number becomes negative, so the prize is 20 points. Winning information of 20 points of prize will be derived.

The main control unit 100 continuously generates a 2-byte random number (a value of 0 to 65535 in decimal number and 0000h in binary number) generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 in accordance with the operation of the player's start lever 9. ~ 1111h), one of the RD1s is extracted and the internal lottery process is executed.

The combination lottery table (see FIG. 40) is all 1-byte data, and is a 1-byte N-data from the address N, a 1-byte M-data from the address M, and a 1-byte L-data group from the address L. The data content is changed according to the design specifications. The MSB of the Nth data is an identification bit that identifies the number of bytes of the number, and if the identification bit is 0, the number of bytes of the number is 1 byte, while if the identification bit is 1, the number of bytes is set. The number of bytes indicates 2 bytes. The following two bits (bits 5 and 6) are bonus information, and 00 indicates that the bonus is not won, 01 indicates that the bonus is 1, 02 indicates that the bonus is 2, and 03 indicates that the bonus 3 is won. The lower 5 bits are lottery count information, and can take a value of at least 1 time to a maximum of 31 times.

The MSB of the Mth data is an identification bit that identifies the data for each setting. If it is 0, it means that there is no setting difference of the number and it means a common number, but if it is 1, there is a difference in the setting of the number and it is for each setting. Means the number of digits. The lower 7 bits are combination information, which means the winning combination when the internal lottery process is completed. Since it is 7 bits, 128 types of winning combinations (winning combination 0 to winning combination 127) can be distinguished. The Lth data means the value of the number, and if the MSB of the Nth data is 0, it is the small number data of 1 byte (up to 255), and if the MSB is 1, it is the large number data of 2 bytes (maximum 65535). be able to.

When the main control unit 100 extracts the RD1, the main control unit 100 continuously pulls the RD1 and determines the winning combination when the end condition based on the remaining random number value and the set value is satisfied. The end condition is satisfied when the remaining random number value becomes smaller than the set value drawn this time in the lottery table. More specifically, since the MSB of the Nth data is 1, the main control unit 100 determines that the number of digits is 2 bytes. Since the bonus information is 00, the bonus is not won, and since the lottery number information is (11011), it is judged that the lottery is performed 27 times (subtract the number).

Since the MSB of the Mth data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that it is a common number with no setting difference, and since the combination information is 4, it is a push order small combination (left first 1). The main control unit 100 uses the Lth data (01h) as the upper byte of the number and the L + 1 data (10h) as the lower byte of the number. In this case, the decimal number is 384 (256 + 128). Here, when the main control unit 100 determines that the remaining random number value is smaller than the current setting value in the lottery table, the end condition is satisfied and the push order small winning combination (left first 1) is determined as the winning winning combination. (Derive the lottery result). On the other hand, if the end condition is not satisfied, the present numerical value (384) is subtracted from the remaining random value, and the subtraction is completed once as the remaining random value. Next, the main control unit 100 sets the push order small combination (left first 2) by logical operation, and when the end condition is satisfied, determines the push order small combination (left first 2) as the winning combination, but if it is not established. , The push order small combination (left first 3) is set by the logical operation, and when the end condition is satisfied, this push order small combination (left first 3) is determined as the winning combination, but the same process is repeated when the push order small combination is not established. There are 9 types of small push order (left first) from 1 to 9, 9 types of small push order (middle first) from 1 to 9, and 9 types of small push order (right first) from 1 to 9. Since the numbers are the same, it is possible to reduce the amount of data in the winning combination lottery table by performing loop processing. In other words, if you do not win even if you draw 27 times (subtract the number), 27 types from push order small win (left first 1) to push order small win (right first 1) will be unwinned. , If the end condition is satisfied somewhere, one of the push order small wins will be won.

Since the MSB of the N + 1th data is 0 in the main control unit 100, the main control unit 100 determines that the number of digits is 1 byte. Since the bonus information is 01, the bonus 1 is won, and since the lottery number information is (00001), it is determined that the lottery is done once (subtract the number). Since the MSB of the M + 1 data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the number is a common number with no setting difference and the combination information is 0, so that the player is unwinned (missing). That is, it is a single winning of bonus 1, and if the end condition is satisfied here, only bonus 1 is won. If the winning combination information is other than 0, the winning combination and the bonus 1 will be won in duplicate. The main control unit 100 uses the L + 2 data (40h) as a decimal number, and in this case, the decimal number is 64 (the winning probability is about 1/1000). Here, when the main control unit 100 determines that the remaining random number value is smaller than the current setting value 64, the end condition is satisfied and the bonus 1 is determined to be a single winning (lottery result is derived). On the other hand, if the end condition is not satisfied, the current placement value (64) is subtracted from the remaining random number value, and one lottery process is completed as the remaining random number value.

Since the MSB of the N + 2 data of the main control unit 100 is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the number of digits is 1 byte. Since the bonus information is 00, the bonus is unsuccessful, and since the lottery number information is (00001), it is judged that the lottery is done once (subtract the number). Since the MSB of the M + 2 data is 1, the main control unit 100 determines that it is a middle-tier cherry (rare small role: determined at the time of design) because it is a number set for each setting with a setting difference and the combination information is 3. .. The main control unit 100 confirms the set value, and if the set value is 1, the third L + 3 data (80h) is set as a fraction (decimal number 128), and if the set value is 2, the next L + 4 data (88h) is set. ) Is a decimal number (decimal number 136), if the set value is 3, the next L + 5 data (90h) is set as a base number (decimal number 144), and if the set value is 4, the next L + 6 data (A0h) is set as a decimal number (decimal number 160), if the set value is 5, the next L + 7 data (C0h) is set as a fixed number (decimal number 192), and if the set value is 6, it is one step ahead. When it is determined that the L + 8 data (E0h) is a position number (decimal number 255) and the remaining random number value is smaller than the current position number, the end condition is satisfied and the middle cherry is determined to be a single winner. If the bonus information is 10, the bonus 2 and the middle cherry will be won at the same time. On the other hand, if the end condition is not satisfied, the current placement value is subtracted from the remaining random number value, and one lottery process is completed as the remaining random number value. The main control unit 100 repeats the above procedure to execute the internal lottery process, and finally derives the lottery result (winning combination or unwinning). The effect is that the data capacity of the main program can be compressed.

FIG. 41 is a detailed explanatory view of the instruction monitor display. 42 to 44 are explanatory views showing the relationship between the instruction information and the instruction monitor display and the instruction content.

In this embodiment, the instruction monitor display is performed using the ones digit of the medal payout number display LED 4c. When an instruction is generated in response to the internal winning information value, RT information value, push order information value, and navigation mode information after the start lever is activated, the instruction monitor display is generated by digitizing the instruction content. Set (0 to 6). After that, when the rotating cylinder starts rotating and the operation of the stop button becomes acceptable, the set instruction information (0 to 6) is displayed in the first place of the medal payout number display LED 4c (lights up). ). Then, when the whole body is stopped, the instruction monitor display is turned off. The relationship between the instruction information and the instruction monitor display and the instruction content is as follows. In addition, "0" is displayed for "no display".

When the value of the navigation mode information is "0" when the condition device related to the instruction function is operated, the grouped values from the event command (winning data command: A9H) are transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160) (sub-control unit 160). See FIG. 42 (A)). The group value of the push order bell 1 to the push order bell 27 is 80H, and the group value of the push order replay 1-1 to the push order replay 2-6 is 40H. The control unit 160 can recognize the push order bell or the push order replay, but cannot notify the navigation information because it cannot recognize the order to be operated.

When the condition device related to the instruction function is operating and the value of the navigation mode information is "1", the value of some instruction information and the grouped value are changed from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control). It is transmitted to the unit 160) (chance zone 2. see FIG. 42 (B)). In the case of the condition devices 01EH to 026H (pushing order bells 1 to 27), a 50% distribution lottery is performed and displayed on the instruction monitor. There are three push order bells, and if the first operation is correct, the bell small winning combination (winning purpose small winning combination) wins regardless of the order of the second operation and the third operation. Specifically, since the left 1st is the correct answer for 01EH to 026H (push order bell 1 to push order bell 9), 50% of either "1" indicating the left middle right or "2" indicating the left middle right is 50%. It is decided by lottery with the probability of, displayed on the instruction monitor, and the decision information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160). If the decision information is "1", the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of left, middle, and right, while if the decision information is "2", the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of left, right, and middle.

Similarly, for 027H to 02FH (pushing order bells 10 to 18), the 1st in the middle is the correct answer, so either "3" to indicate the middle left or right or "4" to indicate the middle right or left is determined by lottery with a 50% probability. Then, it is displayed on the instruction monitor and the decision information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160). If the decision information is "3", the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of middle left and right, but if the decision information is "4", the sub control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of middle right and left. In addition, since the right 1st is the correct answer for 030H to 038H (pushing order bells 19 to 27), either "5" indicating right, middle, or left, or "6" indicating right, middle, or left is determined by lottery with a probability of 50%. Then, it is displayed on the instruction monitor and the decision information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160). If the decision information is "5", the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of right, middle, and left, while if the decision information is "4", the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of right, middle, and left. The main control unit 100 transmits 40H as the group value of the push order replay 1-1 to the push order replay 2-6. The control unit 160 can recognize the push order replay, but cannot notify the navigation information because it cannot recognize the order to be operated.

When the condition device related to the instruction function is operating and the value of the navigation mode information is "2", the value of some instruction information and the grouped value are changed from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control). It is transmitted to the unit 160) (waiting for the end, see FIG. 43 (A)). The group value of the push order bell 1 to the push order bell 27 is 80H, and the control unit 160 can recognize the push order bell, but cannot recognize the order to be operated, so that the navigation information cannot be notified. The push order replay 1 is a replay role for shifting from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, and the push order replay 2 is a replay role for shifting from the RT2 state to the RT3 state. Since the correct answer for 02H (push order replay 1-1) or 08H (push order replay 2-1) is left, middle, and right, "1" indicating the correct answer operation is displayed on the instruction monitor, and the peripheral board (sub-control) is displayed. Instruction information is transmitted to unit 160). Since 03H (push order replay 1-2) or 09H (push order replay 2-2) has the correct answer in the left and right order, "2" instructing the correct answer operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board (sub-control unit). Instruction information is transmitted to 160). Since 04H (push order replay 1-3) or 0AH (push order replay 2-3) has the correct answer in the middle, left, and right order, "3" indicating the correct answer operation is displayed on the instruction monitor, and the peripheral board (sub-control unit) is displayed. Instruction information is transmitted to 160).

Similarly, for 05H (push order replay 1-4) or 0BH (push order replay 2-4), the order of middle right and left is correct, so "4" instructing the correct answer operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board (peripheral board (push order replay 2-4). Instruction information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160). Since the order of 06H (push order replay 1-5) or 0CH (push order replay 2-5) is correct in the right and left order, "5" for instructing the correct answer operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board (secondary). Instruction information is transmitted to the control unit 160). Since the correct answer for 07H (push order replay 1-6) or 0DH (push order replay 2-6) is right, middle, and left, "6" for instructing the correct answer operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board (peripheral board (push order replay 2-6)). Instruction information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160).

When the value of the navigation mode information is "3" when the condition device related to the instruction function is operated, the value of the instruction information is transmitted from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160) (sub-control unit 160). See FIG. 43 (B)). Numerical values (1 to 6) for instructing the correct operation of the push order bell and push order replay are displayed on the instruction monitor as described in FIGS. 42 (B) and 43 (A), and the peripheral board (secondary). Instruction information is transmitted to the control unit 160). When the RT information is "0" when the condition device related to the instruction function is operated, the value of the navigation mode information is the same as that of "0" even if the value of the navigation mode information is "1" to "3". , The values grouped from the event command (winning data command: A9H) are transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160) (see FIG. 44). The group value of the push order bell 1 to the push order bell 27 is 80H, and the group value of the push order replay 1-1 to the push order replay 2-6 is 40H. The control unit 160 can recognize the push order bell or the push order replay, but cannot notify the navigation information because it cannot recognize the order to be operated. Therefore, even if the sub-control unit 160 is tampered with, it cannot be tampered with.

FIG. 45 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

The difference from FIG. 33 is that a premier production bonus is provided in addition to the actual bonus game (BB1 to BB2: 1 type of accessory continuous operation device) as a bonus combination, so FIG. 33 is used for other explanations.

The premier production bonus is a real bonus with RT that becomes a high probability replay state (REP probability about 2/3) for a predetermined number of games (for example, 25 games) when the bonus game ends, and RT from the start of the premier production bonus game. The premiere production is executed until the game is over.

When the premier effect bonus symbol is displayed and the premier effect bonus game is won, the sub-control unit 160 executes the premier effect with that as an opportunity to start the effect. The premier production data is composed of video data, music data, singing voice data, and lamp control data. The premier production data is composed of divided production data 0 to production data N (N is a natural number of 2 or more), and the sub-control unit 160 reproduces the production data N in order from the production data 0. When is finished, the process returns to the production data 0 and the playback is repeated (turnaround playback). The sub-control unit 160 stores the effect data currently being reproduced, and when the door is opened or an error occurs and the error state is restored, the sub-control unit 160 starts reproduction from the beginning of the stored effect data. That is, after the occurrence of the production interruption reason is detected during the execution of the premier production, when the production start condition is satisfied, the production data currently stored is reproduced from the beginning. Since the effect data 0 to the effect data N are divided according to the effect content to be displayed, it is not necessary to divide the effect data into equal parts (data having the same length).

FIG. 46 shows a game state transition diagram (RT state) and a left 1st push order small combination. FIG. 47 shows a small combination of the middle 1st and the right 1st push order.

The difference from FIG. 33 is that bonus 1 (see FIG. 23) is now referred to as a penetrating bonus. Bonus 1 may be either a type 1 accessory continuous operation device or a type 2 accessory continuous operation device. Bonus 1, which is a penetrating bonus, does not change the winning probability of the re-game even if it is internally won in the role lottery, the operation symbol is displayed, or the operation of the bonus ends (the bonus game ends). In other words, it is a role to maintain the RT state at the time of internal winning. In addition, when the bonus 1 and the small winning combination are won at the same time, the bonus symbol is preferentially pulled in and controlled (bonus priority control).

Bonus 1 (preferably a continuous operation device for the second type special accessory): (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (red cherry) on the right drum 2c are all on the effective line. If you stop, the number of acquired cards will be 0, and then a premier bonus of 1 will be given (BIG bonus in which 2 types of BB1 are activated). When a prize is won, the BAR symbols appear to be aligned in a straight line on the upper right, so there is no sense of discomfort for the player. This is a bonus 1 game, and ends when the number of acquired cards exceeds 144.

When the bonus 1 is internally won and the inside of the bonus is inside, the RT state at the time of winning is maintained, so RT4 becomes any of RT0 to RT3. In the state of RT2 or RT3 where the winning probability of the re-game combination is high, if the bonus 1 is internally won and does not operate (win), the high-probability re-game state is maintained in the next game as well. When a replay is won in these RT4 states (high probability replay state), the operation symbol of the replay is always displayed (winning or operation of the replay role), but when any of the small wins is won, a bonus is given by bonus priority control. The symbol is pulled in and controlled in preference to the small winning combination.

However, when the bonus 1 is internally won and the push order small winning combination (especially the left 1st) is won at the same time, if the stop switch is operated at the timing when the bonus symbol cannot be pulled in, the ball output rate is 100%. The problem arises that it exceeds. For example, when the push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 24 is won, a small winning combination (right-down bell role: FRU1) whose purpose is to win a prize, and an inhibitory small winning combination group whose purpose is to prevent the winning of the first small winning combination are formed. Multiple types of obstructive small wins (in this case, three types of nine small wins (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36) are won at the same time. The player turns on the stop switch when the 18th BAR symbol on the left reel has passed. When operated, the 13th or No. green pumpkin symbol or the No. 3 upper thin symbol stops on the effective line. If the 13th green pumpkin symbol stops on the effective line, the target small winning combination (FRU1) ) And the small obstruction role (FRU36) may win. When the player operates the stop switch at the timing when the middle reel cannot pull in the 3rd blue cherry symbol, the main control unit 100 has a small obstruction. Since the role symbol cannot be pulled in, the bell symbol of the target small role (FRU1) is pulled in. In this state, only the target small role (FRU1) can win a prize, but the replay symbol on the right reel can be pulled in 100%. The main control unit 100 wins the target small winning combination and pays out nine cards. On the contrary, when the player operates the stop switch at the timing of pulling in the third blue cherry symbol on the middle reel, only the blocking small winning combination is used. Is in the tempai state, but since the prize is won with a 1/3 probability, the increase / decrease is 0. That is, in the RT4 state (high probability replay state) in which the player is inside the bonus, the bonus 1 symbol is intentionally given. If you continue to avoid bonus winning without aiming for, the ball output rate will exceed 100%, so the number of medals will not decrease when you win the replay, and you will be able to increase the number of medals when you win the small role. The situation that is done occurs.

FIG. 46 (B) shows that the push order bell combination (left) was won in the RT4 state (low probability replay state of RT0 and RT1 or high probability replay state of RT3 to RT4) inside the bonus. The difference from FIG. 23 is that the FRU40, which is a single player for changing the stop control, is simultaneously elected, but during the non-internal bonus, as described in FIGS. 27 to 32. Since stop control is performed, the explanation is used.

In the push-order bell combination (left), the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent operation may be either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c. Push-order bell 1 is a one-time push-order type push-order small winning combination, and the purpose is to win a prize, and the payout is 9 first small winning combination (right-down bell role: FRU1) and 1st small winning combination. A plurality of types of second small winning combination (in this case, three types of nine small winning combination (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36)) constituting the second small winning combination group for the purpose of inhibition are simultaneously elected (pushing order bell 1 in FIG. 24). (Refer to -1). Furthermore, the FRU40, which is a single piece for changing the stop control, is won at the same time. There are nine types from the push order bell 1-1 to the push order bell 1-9, but for the stop control change. Since it is the same except that one of the winning combinations is won at the same time, the explanation is used. There are also pushing order bell roles (middle) and pushing order bell roles (right), but the explanations of FIGS. 27 to 32 are used. In addition, these explanations are the explanations when the bonus is not won (non-internal), and the push order bell role (left) is simultaneously won in the bonus non-internal, and in the state of FIG. 27 (A), When the player first stops the left stop button 10a in the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and is in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The left drum 2a is stopped at, and control is performed to draw any one of the upper thin symbol / BAR symbol / green pumpkin symbol into the effective line.

On the other hand, when the player first stops the right stop button 10c in the incorrect answer operation order while all the reels are rotating (see FIG. 29 (A)) while the bonus is not inside, the main control is performed. The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and either the BAR symbol, the blue seven symbol, or the green pumpkin symbol. Control is performed so that one is always drawn into the effective line (see FIG. 29 (B)). Therefore, any one of the three small winning combinations is always stopped on the effective line. In the case of FIG. 29 (B), since the BAR symbol is stopped at the effective line, there is a possibility that only FRU10 will win at this point, and the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit symbol) is stopped in the upper right row. ing.

If the push order bell combination (left) is won inside the bonus, BB1, FRU1, FRU10, FRU23, FRU36 and FRU40 will be in a state of being won at the same time (see FIG. 46 (B)). When the player first stops the left stop button 10a in the correct operation order aiming at the BAR symbol which is the DDT point, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and corresponds to the sliding frame number data. Based on the above, the left drum 2a is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and stop control is performed to draw the BAR symbol into the effective line. If the BAR symbol stops at the valid line, any of BB1, FRU1, FRU10 and FRU40 may win at this point. When the player aims at the 16th blue seven symbol and operates the middle stop button 10b for the second stop, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and is 0 based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 1 frame to 4 frames, and stop control is performed to draw the BAR symbol into the effective line. The reason is that the main control unit 100 performs stop control for drawing in bonus symbols in preference to the symbols of FRU1, FRU10 and FRU40. In this state, there is a possibility that only BB1 will win, and if the player aims at the red cherry symbol and operates the right stop button 10c for the third stop, BB1 will win the prize, but at the timing when the red cherry symbol cannot be pulled in. When the right stop button 10c is pressed for the third stop, the missing eye of BB1 is displayed.

However, if the player pushes the BAR symbol on the right reel No. 12 and presses the right stop button 10c for the second stop after the first stop operation, the red cherry symbol No. 13 cannot be stopped. In that case, the main control unit 100 draws either the upper thin symbol or the white pumpkin symbol of the FRU 40, which has many symbol combinations, into the effective line instead of the BAR symbol which is the symbol of the FRU 10 inside the bonus. After that, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the third stop operation, either the replay symbol or the white pumpkin symbol is pulled onto the effective line to win the FRU 40 and pay out only one medal. Therefore, since the player loses two cards, the aggressiveness can be eliminated.

Further, when the BAR symbol is removed by the first stop operation of the left reel, the main control unit 100 stops the upper thin symbol or the green pumpkin symbol, but during the inside of the bonus, the replay symbol or the replay symbol or the middle reel is operated after that. The white pumpkin symbol, the upper thin symbol or the white pumpkin symbol is stopped on the right reel, and the FRU40 is won. That is, the kicking control of the symbols of FRU23 and FRU36, which are small winning combinations, is performed, and the small winning combination with a large number of payouts is not won. As a result, the ball output rate inside the bonus can be set to less than 100%, so that the aggressiveness can be eliminated.

Within the bonus of FIG. 46B, when the player first stops the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c in the incorrect answer operation order, two stop controls can be considered.

As the first control, in the case of an incorrect answer operation order, the main control unit 100 stops the bonus symbol or the symbol of FRU40 on the effective line, and BB1 or FRU40 (control change small winning combination for changing stop control, payout) Execute stop control that allows only 2 or less to win a prize. That is, since FRU40 (control change small winning combination) is won at the same time inside the bonus, if the BB1 symbol cannot be drawn in, the FRU40 symbol is drawn in and the small winning combination with a large payout (target small winning combination and three inhibitions). (Small role) should not be awarded.

As a second control, in the case of an incorrect answer operation order, the main control unit 100 stops the bonus symbol or any of the three obstructive small winning combinations on the effective line, and stops only the BB1 or the obstructing small winning combination. Take control. That is, in the inside of the bonus, the small winning combination that has a lot of dividends but may be missed is won at the same time, so if the BB1 symbol cannot be drawn in, one of the small obstacle symbols will be drawn in and the payout will be paid. Many purpose small wins and control change small wins should not be won.

If the push order bell combination (middle) in FIG. 47 (A) is won inside the bonus, BB1, FRU2, FRU10, FRU23 and FRU36 are in a state of being won at the same time.

When the player first stops the middle stop button 10b in the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and is in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The middle drum 2b is stopped at, but despite the correct operation order, the bell symbol of FRU2 is kicked and the stop control is changed so as to pull in the BAR symbol (bonus symbol) or any of the obstructing small winning symbols. .. In addition, the bell symbol of FRU2, which is the target small role, is drawn into the non-internal bonus. If the bonus symbol is pulled in by the second and third stop operations after that, the bonus will be won, but if it cannot be pulled in, the bonus will be missed. In addition, if the obstructing small winning combination symbol is pulled in by the subsequent second and third stop operations, the blocking small winning combination prize will be awarded and nine medals will be paid out, but if it cannot be withdrawn, the small winning combination will be missed. The small role Koboshi pattern is displayed. However, since it is inside the bonus, the main control unit 100 does not change the RT state.

If the push order bell combination (right) in FIG. 47 (B) is won inside the bonus, BB1, FRU3, FRU10, FRU23 and FRU36 are in a state of being won at the same time.

When the player first stops the right stop button 10c in the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and is in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The middle drum 2b is stopped at, but despite the correct operation order, the bell symbol of FRU3 is kicked and the stop control is changed so that the red cherry symbol (bonus symbol) or one of the obstructing small role symbols is pulled in. To do. In addition, the bell design of FRU3, which is the target small role, is drawn into the non-internal bonus. If the bonus symbol is pulled in by the second and third stop operations after that, the bonus will be won, but if it cannot be pulled in, the bonus will be missed. In addition, if the obstructing small winning combination symbol is pulled in by the subsequent second and third stop operations, the blocking small winning combination prize will be awarded and nine medals will be paid out, but if it cannot be withdrawn, the small winning combination will be missed. , Small role Koboshi eyes pattern is displayed. However, since it is inside the bonus, the main control unit 100 does not change the RT state.
